Estate Argyros Santorini Vinsanto Late Release (3 Bottle Minimum)

The most mature yet translucent Vinsanto of Estate Argyros. A strict selection of 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 fourteen days, natural fermentation and three years of ageing takes place in old concrete vats, with additional aging for sixteen years in old wooden vats. An intense, profound wine of breathtaking complexity. Ready to drink on release but time is unable to destroy this. Final yield of this would be close to 60 ml per square metre of vineyard.

Nose: Penetrating aromas with layers of dried fig, date, candied orange peel, and honey. Notes of roasted coffee, cocoa, and sweet spices emerge alongside toasted nuts and subtle balsamic nuances. A delicate saline minerality evokes the volcanic origin of the grapes, while fruit and non-fruit oxidative complexity continue to display endlessly. 

Palate: Opulent, concentrated, and full-bodied. Candied citrus, quince, dried fruits, and caramelized notes unfold across a dense, unctuous texture. Razor-sharp acidity balances the sweetness, while espresso, molasses, and spice nuances add complexity. The finish is long, surprisingly fresh, and mineral-driven, leaving an unforgettable impression. Sheer complexity and balance at the same time.
