An introduction to the universe of Argyros whites. A blend of mainly Assyrtiko, with smaller proportions of Athiri and Aidani, sourced from relatively young vines, sixty year old or younger, and fermented in stainless steel at cool temperatures. Atlantis White is a fresh, charming wine, made to be enjoyed young and not intended for ageing. Consume within three years from vintage.
Vineyard selection: Selected parcels from Episkopi, Messaria, Karterados, Pyrgos, Megalochori and Akrotiri. Vine age: 10-60 years old, ungrafted. Vintage description: Mild winter with 530mm total rainfall. Spring was windy, while warrn weather at the end of May accelerated vine growth. Temperatures during fruit development were average, while high humidity, especially close to harvest, contributed to increase berry weight and a relatively delayed harvest. Harvest: 2nd decade of August Yield: 20 hl/ha

This wine offers structure, body and finesse, while remaining refined and refreshing. Flinty and grapefruit aromas follow with mouthwatering citrus, smoke and spice, and a long, savory finish
