Gaia Nychteri Assyrtiko 2020 750ml

One of the pioneers of the modern Greek wine revolution, Gai’a Estate (pronounced Yay-ya) was established in 1994 by Leon Karatsalos and winemaker Yiannis Paraskevopoulos. 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. Nychteri represents a modern take on a traditional recipe.

The flinty smokiness of the barrel appends itself to the inherent minerality of this wine. Behind the smoke appear sweet lemony and floral aromas, followed by honeycomb and butter croissant.
