Gai'a - Assyrtiko Wild Ferment Santorini 2022
One of the pioneers of the modern Greek wine revolution, Gai’a Wines (pronounced Yay-ya) was established in 1994 by Leon Karatsalos and winemaker Yiannis Paraskevopoulos (PhD, University of Bordeaux II). Their mission was to capture the best that Greece’s indigenous grapes have to offer by merging traditional viticultural and production methods with innovative techniques. The estate is named after “Mother Earth,” in honor of the unique terroir that gives birth to these world-class wines.
The grapes for the Wild Ferment Assyrtiko come from upland vineyards located in Pyrgos on the island of Santorini. This region of the island is known for producing more aromatic grapes than other parts of Santorini.
