Estate Argyros - Santorini Cuvée Evdemon 750ml
White, Dry, Still, Assyrtiko
Cuvee Evdemon is flirting with the boundaries of Estate Argyros’ understanding of the Santorinian environment. Biodynamically cultivated, very old Assyrtiko vineyards, at least 150 years old, in Pyrgos giving extremely low yields. Fermented, partially uninoculated, in stainless steel, at cool temperatures and aged for approximately thirty months in stainless steel tanks on fine lees, while a quarter of the blend had twelve months in French oak barriques and then the remaining months in stainless steel. A wine focusing on palate architecture that needs several years in bottle to open up while can reward cellaring for more than fifteen years.
Bottle: 750ml
Alc.: 14%vol.
It is produced from the Merlot varietal with a small presence of Agiorgitiko.
Conventional red vinification methods are followed, with a long maceration period. Once malolactic fermentation is complete, it is aged for 16 months in new French oak barrels, where its rich character is rounded out.
The wine is a dense ruby colour with aromas of red fruit (plums and wild cherries), alternating harmoniously with notes of cedar, spices, vanilla, dark chocolate and nutmeg.
It has a rich mouth-feel with generous, robust tannins, good structure and intensely fruity, long finish.
It is a long-term cellared wine, served at 16-18°C.
