Santorini Assyrtiko Athiri Aidani 2023
Anhydrous began life in 2012 when winemakers Apostolos
Mountrichas and his wife Lenga Grigoriadou decided to start
Avantis Santorini (named after their original estate in central
Greece). They were looking for a new challenge, a challenge
articulated when they changed the name of their estate to
Anhydrous with the 2021 vintage. Anhyrdrous means ‘without
water’, a recognition of the brutal growing traditions on this
beautiful island. Within a space of a decade, Apostolos and
Lenga have transformed Anhydrous into one of the island’s
premier producers.
Spring was sunny with adequate rainfall ensuring sufficient water
reserves throughout the growing season. Early summer
temperatures were moderate with minimum rainfall allowing for a
slow, steady ripening. From the middle to the end summer,
temperatures increased to almost 38°C (standard Mediterranean
summer temperatures). Weather remained hot during early
autumn and was followed by rainfall towards the end of
September, which brought forward the end of harvest.
On the nose, this Santorini wine blends the noble steely Assyrtiko,
the floral-scented Aidani and lemony Athiri grapes. On the palate,
the wine is dry and balanced with refreshing acidity and a zesty
character leading on to a mouth-watering finish.
ABV 13%
