Wine maker’s notes
Winemaking
Well-ripened grapes from the privately owned vineyard of Ag. Marina which is adjacent to the caldera of Santorini and is located next to the winery, they were harvested on September 2 and after static de-liming 24 hours driven in an oak tank (foudre) of 2 tons and followed slowly fermentation with selected yeasts at a low temperature that lasted 32 days. Then the wine remained with the lees for 8 months and bottled in July 2022.
Characteristics
Bright golden yellow color. Expressive nose with aromas of peels citrus fruit dominated by grapefruit, pear, peach, honeysuckle, and hints of yeast. In the mouth, it appears rich with mild minerality. Beautiful balance between the expression of the fruit and the smooth buttery feel that surrounds her. Sharp as a typical Santorini Assyrtiko. The aftertaste is of moderate intensity and good duration.

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, which 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
