Vassaltis Vineyards Santorini Barrel Aged

Vassaltis Vineyards Santorini Barrel Aged. Made from 100% Assyrtiko. Yellow with golden hints. Toasty and vanilla aromas, wet stone, citrus, very complex. Vanilla, salt, citrus, refreshing acidity, well structured and balanced with the oak, full bodied, very long after-taste.

Ageing potential: 10 years

Serving suggestions: Sea-food, grilled white meat and light sauces, at 10 – 11° C.all-day wine, best at 10 – 11° C

This wine ferments in steel tanks and is then aged in 3rd use 500lt French oak barrels on it lees. It ages for a further seven months in stainless steel tanks and eight months in the bottle before its release. This wine defeats criticism that Assyrtiko shouldn’t be aged in oak to preserve its volcanic characteristics unadulterated, by giving a perfectly balanced wine with great complexity and great ageing potential.
