Description
Composition/Winemaking: 100% Assyrtiko from the emblematic Clos Stegasta vineyard. Spontaneous fermentation in a mixture of stainless-steel tanks, wooden vats and oak barrels. Bottled after seven months maturation on its lees. Tasting notes: a wine of high energy and power that sets the bar for the variety. The nose shows a striking combination of citrus and honeysuckle alongside nuances of crushed rock. The palate is vibrant and focused ringing with flavour and movement. It is overlaid with purity and saline minerality and finishes impressively long.
