This is an age restricted product for persons aged 18 and over.In 1970 this was the first Assyrtiko to be planted outside Santorini. The climatic conditions are similar as the soil but such a heavy volcanic influence. The vines are mostly located at 200-300 metres above the sparkling Mediterranean sea where the breezes and dry climate create perfect conditions for organic viticulture. The vineyards yield at a tiny 800 kilos per hectare, creating wines of intensity and structure.
