Vinsanto

Honeyed, velvety mouth with hints of fig, raisin, caramel and vanilla. Long-lasting aromas of dried apricot, honey, roasted nuts, bitter chocolate and some hints of orange.

Food Pairing: Pairs nicely with dark chocolate , fruit tarts, desserts with candy and nuts. Matches also with strong dishes like foie gras and pungent cheeses.

Winemaking Notes: From the vineyards nearby Akrotiri. Overripe white grapes are sundried for a period of 7-15 days. Then destemmed and pressed. The sweet juice ferments slowly for more than 2 months in stained steel tanks at a controlled temperature. After the end of the fermentation, the naturally sweet wine is moved to oak barrels for maturation for at least 2 years.
