The most important bottling of the estate, the essence of what Estate Argyros stands for. Meticulously selected parcels, with ages exceeding a century, from top quality areas of the island, mainly Messaria, Karterados, Pyrgos, Megalochori and Akrotiri. Fermented in stainless steel at cool temperatures and aged for two months in stainless steel tanks on fine lees. A copybook Santorini, at least under the Argyros lenses, showing purity and race without excesses, developing for at least a decade.

This is one of the best bottles to emerge from the exciting Santorini wine scene and is representative of today's stylistic approach to Assyrtiko. The 2022 Santorini Assyrtiko is softly creamy and rich with orchard fruit, pastry cream and Golden Delicious apple. The wine's rich texture acts as a sounding board to those pretty fruit flavors, and you definitely get the salty mineral tones that are typical of the island. This is a terrific wine, with good phenolic maturity and balanced acidity, and it promises more years of bottle evolution. Anticipated Maturity: 2024-2035
