2020 'Monograph' Assyrtiko, Gaia Wines

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. The estate is named after “Mother Earth,” in honour of the unique terroir that gives birth to these world-class wines.

The carefully selected grapes were chilled to 4°C before being destemmed and gently pressed. The must was fermented with selected yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, to retain the purity of fruit. The wine was made without any oak influence to preserve the fresh and varietal characteristics of the Assyrtiko grapes and the distinctive expression of the Nemea terroir.
