Wine maker’s notes
Introducing the winery’s first-ever red wine, an ultra-limited inaugural release of just 527 bottles, crafted from 100% Mandilaria grown on the volcanic soils of Santorini and Therassia.
To reveal the grape’s natural elegance, the vinification split the vintage 50/50 for six months before bottling. Half matured in stainless steel to protect its vibrant fruit purity, while the other half aged in third-use French oak barrels with regular lees stirring (bâtonnage) to build a creamy, rounded texture.
The result is a remarkably refined expression of the variety. Pouring a brilliant ruby, it opens with aromas of wild cherry and blackcurrant. On the palate, it reveals unexpectedly velvety tannins, vibrant acidity, and a graceful finish shaped by volcanic minerality. This premier red is built to evolve beautifully over 6 to 8 years of bottle aging.
Served at 16°C – 18°C, it is an exceptional match for grilled meats, slow-cooked lamb, and aged cheeses, as well as Mediterranean dishes featuring roasted vegetables, tomatoes, and herbs.
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 Mikra Thira
Mikra Thira is the name of a new winery established by three well known Greek winemakers: Vangelis Gerovassiliou, Vassilis Tsaktsarlis, and Ioanna Vamvakouri.
It is the first winery to be built in Therasia, the small island that was a part of Santorini until the great volcanic eruption of 1600BC. The name Mikra Thira derives from a reference in literature during the 10th century BC in Therasia. The idea behind it was inspired by this island’s raw, natural beauty and its unique “terroir” that has the typical characteristics of Santorini and at the same time has its own unique character.
The aim of the three oenologists is to produce quality wines that express this distinctive microclimate. The first harvest took place in 2018 and the two wines of the estate were bottled under the Protected Designation of Origin Santorini: “SANTORINI”, a 100% Assyrtiko of Santorini grapes and “TERRASEA”, a different expression of the same variety with grapes which come exclusively from Therasia.
