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.
