Estate Argyros
EAAWA
Region: Greece
Grape variety: 90% Assyrtiko, 5% Athiri & 5% Aidani
Background: Argyros Estate was established in 1903 and is now run by Matthew Argyros, the fourth generation of the family to do so although the family has been involved in grape growing on Santorini for 200 years.
Tasting notes: Atlantis White is a fresh, charming wine, made to be enjoyed young and not intended for ageing.
Light yellow colour, with vibrant aromas of citrus fruits, lemon blossom, and delicate notes of exotic fruits. Light body, good balance in the mouth thanks to the wine’s acidity and minerality with a pleasant tingling aftertaste.

EAES
Region: Greece, Santorini, Pyrgos
Grape variety: Assyrtiko
Background: Evdemon is the super cuvée of the Estate from only two vineyards in the areas of Pyrgos and Megalochori that are cultivated with biodynamic methods. Fermented in 80% stainless steel tanks and the rest in old 500 litre barrels that give volume and complexity to the wine.
Tasting notes: Rich and full-bodied with almost tropical fruit that ties in harmoniously with the distinctive smoky character of the great wines of Santorini. A wine of experience and emotion for those who want to explore and better understand what Assyrtiko can give.
Awards: 93 Points - Tim Atkins: "Opens complex, concentrated, and brooding, humming with quiet power. Sea salt and iodine are on the foreground, supplemented by a green, herbal character. Continues with a rich, opulent palate, which is balanced by the trademark Assyrtiko acidity. Finishes long and fresh"
EAVLR
Region: Greece, Santorini
Grape variety: Assyrtiko, Arthiri & Aidani
Background: The grapes are sun-dried for fourteen days, natural fermentation and three years of aging take place in old concrete vats, with additional aging for sixteen years in old wooden vats.
Tasting notes: An intense, profound wine of breath-taking complexity. Ready to drink on release but time is unable to destroy this. The final yield of this would be close to 60 ml per square metre of the vineyard.
Food pairing: Enjoy it with nuts, dried fruits, and black chocolate, spicy and ripened cheeses.
