2010 Gavalas Winery Vinsanto, Greece

Vinsanto (as its name indicates) is the mythical nectar of Santorini already renowned since the 12th century. It combines three indigenous and aromatic grape varieties: assyrtiko, aidani and athiri, whose grapes are sun-dried for about 15 days. Traditional vinification ensues, before aging in old barrels for several years. This mahogany wine combines the intensity of honey, raisins, caramel, figs and prunes with mineral freshness. On the palate, it shows great finesse, a very nice sweet taste, accompanied by a fine and pleasant acidity. It would be no exaggeration to say that it ranks among the best dessert wines in the world!
