Lots of burnt caramel with a salty edge. Orange peel and chocolate, too. Full-bodied and very sweet, yet with a lovely texture and intensity. Tangy, flavorful finish. Drink now.
Winery
The most mature yet translucent Vinsanto of Estate Argyros. A strict selection of excessively old Assyrtiko, Aidani and Athiri vineyards in Episkopi, two hundred year old minimum, specifically earmarked for this style. Harvested at very deep ripeness, almost a month after the main picking date, giving insanely low yields. The grapes are sun dried for fourteen days, natural fermentation and three years of ageing takes place in old concrete vats, with additional aging for sixteen years in old wooden vats. An intense, profound wine of breathtaking complexity. Ready to drink on release but time is unable to destroy this.

Country: Greece

It is almost impossible to understate the importance of local and regionally produced wines in Greek culture. Across the country, from the cities of the mainland to the villages, mountainous regions and islands, wine is produced using traditional methods and native grape varietals, and is drank in households and taverns, either accompanying the much loved local cuisine or alone as a refreshment under the blazing Mediterranean sunshine. For wine lovers around the world, Greece is known for producing several wines with something unique and interesting to offer, a refreshing change from the norm filled with surprises and complex, occasionally challenging or unusual flavors and aromas. Thanks to the vast range in terrain across the archipelago, Greek wine is as varied as it is delicious, meaning there is plenty to explore and enjoy from this fascinating and ancient country.
