Cuvee “Gerontampelo”, Argyros Estate
51,50 €
Vintage: 2020
Protected Designation of Origin Santorini
100% Assyrtiko
Cuvee Gerontampelo began with a vision for a powerful Assyrtiko, treated with elegance in French oak barrels. A carefully made wine that delivers all the essence of Gerontampelo, which means “old vine” in the local dialect of Santorini.
A wine of imposing proportions, of power but showing no hint of roughness. It needs several years in bottle to grow
out of its youth and will unfurl for more than fifteen years.

Description
Vineyard
Vineyard selection: Selected parcels from Pyrgos, Episkopi and Megalochori
Vine age: 180–200 years old, ungrafted.
Vintage description: Mild winter with 530mm total rainfall. Spring was windy, while warm weather in the end of May accelerated vine growth. Temperatures during fruit development were average, while high humidity, especially close to harvest, contributed to increase berry weight and a relatively delayed harvest.
Harvest: 3rd decade of August
Yield: 17 hl/ha
Vinification
Fermentation: In French oak, with 64% in 500lt barrels, 25% in barriques and the balance in an oval 12hl vat, at ambient temperatures, lasting almost three weeks, partially uninoculated.
Maturation: Twelve months in French oak barrels and twelve additional months in stainless steel vats, on fine lees and occasional batonnage throughout.
