Ammonite

Why this particular wine?

Ammonite by Gaia Wines is a distinctive expression of the Assyrtiko grape from Santorini, which is produced from rare, century-old vineyards. This wine goes through an extended aging process where it rests on the lees for more than 15 months and part of the wine matures in new French oak barrels. Thanks to this careful approach, the wine has a complex profile with aromas of ripe white peaches, citrus and nuts, complemented by notes of honeycomb and pronounced minerality. The result is a full-bodied wine with high acidity, fine tannins and a long aftertaste that shows the remarkable aging potential of Assyrtiko wine and the unique terroir of Santorini.
