Product description
100% Assyrtiko from Dafermou Winery, grown on red volcanic soils. Vines were planted in 2013 and are cultivated on slopes under regenerative viticulture, harvested by hand at very low yields of 1.3 to 1.8 kg per vine. Fermentation begins in stainless steel before transfer to used French 500L oak barrels with medium-plus toast for six months. Malolactic fermentation occurs in barrel, with batonnage throughout. Aromatic and saline on the nose. On the palate, expect bright citrus and stone fruit with piercing natural acidity, a textural mid-palate from lees contact and light oak influence, and a long, mineral finish.
