Gaia Assyrtiko Wild Ferment Santorini is a refreshingly mineral and complex wine from a low-yielding 80-year-old vineyard.
The carefully selected Assyrtiko grapes for this wine come exclusively from the vineyard of Pyrgos; these grapes have a larger aromatic character than other areas of the island. The Gaia winery, built in 1997, has a capacity of 3,060 hectolitres. It’s located at an altitude of 250 to 850 meters, presents a great variation in soil and climatic conditions.
Winemakers destemmed the hand-picked grapes, then crushed and cold soaked them for 12 hours with skin contact at 10°C.
The free run juice was then fermented naturally, using only natural yeasts.
45% of the must was fermented in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures, 45% in wooden casks. The remaining 10% was in ceramic vats.
The temperature rose naturally without any further intervention.
Gaia Assyrtiko Wild Ferment Santorini aged on its fine lees for four to six months with lees stirring.
A highly complex, aromatic nose and funky nose, with citrus notes combining with floral hints from the acacia wood, vanilla, toasty oak and a touch of smoke.
The layers of wild ferment envelop this precise and dry wine which has a mineral and salty complexity to the tangy finish. This is a truly unique wine.
