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.
