Estate Argyros Vinsanto ‘late Release’ 2004

This exceptional Vinsanto is a naturally sweet wine crafted exclusively from sun-dried white grapes, aged for an impressive 20 years in barrel. The blend consists of 80% Assyrtiko, 10% Aidani, and 10% Athiri, with grapes carefully laid out under the Santorinian sun for around two weeks to achieve remarkable concentration and depth.

It displays a deep, luminous amber colour. The nose and palate are intensely rich, revealing layered flavours of butterscotch, roasted coffee beans, raisins, dried fruit, and cocoa. Full-bodied and powerful, the wine is beautifully balanced by vibrant acidity, preventing sweetness from overwhelming and creating an extraordinarily long, lingering finish.

A wine of great complexity and longevity, this Vinsanto pairs superbly with chocolate and chocolate-based desserts, as well as creamy blue cheeses such as Roquefort and Stilton. Equally captivating when enjoyed on its own or alongside a fine cigar. Best served chilled at 6–8 °C. With its structure and balance, this wine has the potential to age gracefully for the next 100 years.
