Estate Argyros Cuvee Evdemon Santorini

  • White
  • Assyrtiko (100%)

Vinification & Aging

Vinified in stainless steel vats, at a controlled temperature of 16-17o C, lasting almost three weeks, partially uninoculated.

25% of the blend matured for twelve months in French oak barriques with occasional batonnage, the rest matured for thirty months in stainless steel vats, on fine lees with occasional batonnage.

Ecosystems

The average vine age exceeds 70 years, while the oldest parcels of the estate are more than two centuries old. The average yields, on a plentiful vintage, rarely gets higher than 21 hl/ha, an impressively, if not catastrophically, low number, matched by very few wines around the world. Work in the vineyard is meticulous, with hundreds of man-hours per year per hectare, since every single vine is considered a unique organism.
