Gaia, 'Wild Ferment' Assyrtiko
£34.50
Description
Alcohol percentage: 14%
Vegan
Area:
Santorini is a volcanic island in the Aegean sea off mainland Greece. Poor, rocky soils ensure low yields and potentially high quality.
Grape variety:
80 year old, un-grafted Assyrtiko vines, fermented with natural yeasts; matured half in steel, half in barrel (some oak, some acacia wood).
Producer:
Modern estate run by Leon Karatsalos and Yiannis Paraskevopoulos, making fine wines in both Nemea and Santorini.
Maturity potential:
Normally at its best 5/6 years from harvest – and easily holding up for another 5 after that.
The Bottle Shop rating:
The wild ferment has given a genuinely ‘wild’ style. Subtle but intriguing aromatics; lively freshness with intensity that grows and grows as the wine gets more air in the glass. A complex wine for the thinking drinker.

“I was a customer of the shop before I worked here. It’s the personal touch people come for. It’s what makes them come back.”
