Product Notes

Gaia Clay Assyrtiko is a sublime Greek white wine showcasing supreme, robust flavour. Produced from the tropical Assyrtiko grape variety, it presents an exquisite blend of citrus fruits and ripe pears with mineral, earthy undertones, captured from the high-altitude, volcanic soil vineyards on Santorini Island. Aged in Greek amphora clay pots, this unique process bestows a distinguished, textured depth to its taste. The result is an extraordinarily assertive, full-bodied wine, sharp and crisp, with a pleasantly tart finish. Ideal with seafood, Gaia Clay Assyrtiko has an unparalleled, refreshing character that is a delightful treat for any wine enthusiast.

Tasting Notes

Deep amber in colour, this richly textured, warming and aromatic orange wine delivers intense notes of candied tropical fruit and dried fruits, layered with vanilla and honeycomb nuances.
