Wine maker’s notes
Vinification:
White Assyrtiko grapes coming mainly from vineyards in the Megalochori area of Thira. Collection of the free-run must and static settling at 13.5°C for 24 hours. Controlled fermentation with selected yeasts at 16.5°C. During the last third of the alcoholic fermentation, it was transferred to new acacia barrels (225 liters) for the completion of fermentation, where it remained to mature for a period of 18 months. Bottling took place during the third week of May 2025.
Selected Assyrtiko grapes from the vineyards of Megalochori. After a meticulous alcoholic fermentation process, a maturation period in acacia barrels followed for 18 months (Note: the Greek text mentions 18 months in the first paragraph and 8 in the second; based on the context of the previous article, it is likely 18). Extremely limited production, just 800 bottles.
Tasting Notes:
The wine possesses a white-yellow color and a clean bouquet of strong intensity and concentration. Aromas of citrus, sweet grapefruit, and ripe pear dominate, accompanied by notes of chestnut. On the palate, there is a refreshing acidity and a full body. The aftertaste is long with a sense of roundness.
Tip: The shipping cost per bottle drops significantly the more bottles you buy. Join forces with friends and family to buy more bottles and bring the cost down.
Important notes:
-It is an offense to purchase or attempt to purchase alcoholic liquor if you are under the age of 18.
-The price includes safe packaging cost
About Venetsanos Winery
Venetsanos winery is located right above the port of Athinios, overlooking the magnificent caldera of Santorini. The Venetsanos family has a very long tradition in producing wine. Originally was produced for the island and subsequently, it was exported extensively, and particularly to countries such as Russia. It was built in 1947 by Venetsanos family and became the first industrial winery on the island. Its most distinguishing feature is the structural design, which essentially used gravity, facilitating energy efficiency, at a time when access to electricity and other energy sources was very limited. The winery was built in an unconventional manner constructed from above and moving downwards.
The Venetsanos winery, that can now be visited, is the culmination of this rich family tradition with the recently revamped buildings. The exceptional architectural structure is combined with the history of one of the most important wine producers in the Aegean. The winery is located in the most breathtaking location offering incredible vistas over the caldera and volcanic islands.
The winery today offers you the chance to walk through and discover the history and tradition as well as the new winemaking techniques. You are able to take a detailed tour of the winery from our expert staff while also tasting some of our exceptional wines
