Argyros Vinsanto Late Release 2001 - 500ml

  • $235.00*

 

The most mature yet translucent Vinsanto of Estate Argyros.

A strict selection of excessively old Assyrtiko, Aidani, and Athiri vineyards in Episkopi, a 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 aging take 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. The final yield of this would be close to 60 ml per square metre of the vineyard.

Enjoy it with nuts, dried fruits, and black chocolate, spicy and ripened cheeses.
