Khaos Kaldera Assyrtiko White 2021

  The wine industry in Santorini has struggled for years with hotel developers buying up vineyard land. That scarcity of vineyard worthy land has gradually raised prices. And now, concerned as to what might happen, volcanically speaking, reports are that businesses are hitting the pause button. Santorini wines are not the easiest to access on a clear day, be prepared for a possible drought and shop now!

Santorini is known globally for both its stunning views of the sunset overlooking the Kaldera (volcanic depression) as well as its coveted dry white wines made from the native Assyrtiko grape. This grape varietal is one of the few crops that flourishes in the island's challenging climate. Kaldera Assyrtiko is produced from 60+ year old vines grown under strenuous conditions of high heat and volcanic soils. This creates a wine full of minerality, vibrant acidity, length and unique texture. Kaldera can be enjoyed on its own or paired with seafood, shellfish, or white meat.
 

"A perfect aperitif for a hot summer day, or pairing with seafood and salads, this is a beautifully balanced, light-bodied wine. Aromas include ripe pineapple, lemon and lime, and the palate has a long, racy finish."
