Cuvée Monsignori Estate Argyros
€47,20
Cuvée Monsignori by Estate Argyros is one of the deepest and most historic expressions of Santorini Assyrtiko. It comes from selected vineyard sites in Episkopi, with ungrafted vines over 200 years old, and brings to the glass all the concentration, salinity and strict minerality that Santorini can offer at its best.
Vinification is carried out with a low-profile approach, allowing the old vine and the volcanic soil to speak clearly. Ageing on the fine lees gives it volume, depth and a more complex texture, without losing the sharp, lemony energy of Assyrtiko.
In the glass it reveals lemon, grapefruit, orange peel, green apple, peach, honey and an intense sensation of wet stone. On the palate it is dry, dense and electric, with high acidity, salty intensity and a long finish that lingers. It needs a large glass, a little time to open up and dishes with character, such as shellfish, grilled fish, lobster, shrimps, lemony seafood or white meats with a fine sauce.
