Vinification & Aging

Grapes are harvested by hand from the vineyards. They spend a night in a refrigerator at cold temperatures. Next day whole-cluster sorting and pressing. Cold maceration at low temperatures for 1-2 days, then the must is transferred into the stainless steel where fermentation takes place.

The wine remains on its lees for 12 months in stainless steel tank then bottled.

Ecosystems

The soil of Santorini is unique; the whole island is a super volcano and has been covered with volcanic material since the last eruption in 1620 B.C. These vines are classified as old vines, over 50 years in age. The wine producing lineage of the island makes it part of the global historic legacy of grape cultivation.
