Embrace the untamed beauty of Serifos, a tranquil Cycladic island of wild landscapes and rich history, far removed from mass tourism. From its captivating, sun-drenched, amphitheater-like vineyards with arid, rocky soils and strong Meltemi winds, an exceptionally rare Assyrtiko emerges. This inaugural vintage, with only 650 bottles produced and a mere 120 currently available, is a true testament to the island’s unique terroir and its ancient, indigenous grape varieties, cultivated using traditional, sustainable methods.
Andromachi’s Tasting Notes
Wine Details
Viticulture: sustainable
Vinification: The winemaking begins with a manual harvest in late August, where grapes are meticulously transported by donkeys from steep, 35-50 degree terraces. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks using neutral natural yeasts, resulting in 12.3% alcohol. The wine is then aged for 3 months in used 500-liter French oak barrels, followed by 6 months in stainless steel vats with bâtonnage of the fine lees.
Service temperature: 8-10°C
Pairings: Fish, seafood, poultry, white meat, salads and young or mid-aged cheese
