Estate Argyros Vinsanto First Release 2016

The youngest Vinsanto of Estate Argyros, demonstrating what youth is for such a wine.

A strict selection of excessively old Assyrtiko, Aidani, and Athiri vineyards in Episkopi, two-hundred-year-old minimum, specifically earmarked for this style. Harvested at very deep ripeness, almost a month after the main picking date, giving insanely low yields. The grapes are sun-dried for ten days, natural fermentation and three years of aging takes place in old concrete vats, with additional aging for four years in old wooden vats.

A luscious wine, with fruit at the forefront. Ready to drink on release but can age in the bottle almost indefinitely. The final yield of this would be close to 75 ml per square metre of the vineyard.
