Being raised in a family of silk merchants, he was an adventurer and a man of exquisite taste. As he travelled around the world, he discovered many different spirits and wines. However, he found that spirits of the time tended to be harsh on the palate and with no great aroma or character. So, he began to dream of crafting a unique spirit that was as smooth as it was intense. A spirit that would journey through the senses. By 1888 Spyros Metaxa creates METAXA, the Original Greek Spirit, and soon enough this very spirit began to be exported around the Mediterranean and the later the world-wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhilosophy: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetaxa's production process is carefully supervised by Master Blender Konstantinos Raptis.

The building, which was once a tomato factory from the early 1900s, has been restored with love and transformed into a cutting-edge winery. GAIA takes pride in preserving their heritage, and the industrial stone building is a perfect example of this. Gaía's state-of-the-art equipment and facilities provide ideal conditions for producing high-quality wine. At Gaia Wines, the founders, Yiannis Paraskevopoulos and Leon Karatsalos, embody the Greek spirit of travel and lifelong learning. Their expertise in agriculture and enology has allowed them to create wines that speak to the ancient secrets of the Greek land. The Ammonite symbol, a fossil from the Aegean Sea, has become a symbol of their brand, representing their commitment to exploring the depths of Greek terroir. Gaía's Agiorgitiko and Assyrtiko wines have travelled the world, carrying the name of Gaia Wines with them. They strive to offer wine lovers the best possible experience, each in their unique way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSantorini boasts a quintessential Mediterranean climate, characterized by warm temperatures, low rainfall and high humidity during the growing season. However, the area is also prone to strong winds coming off the ocean, which can pose a threat to the vines and grapes if they are not trained low to the ground for protection. Adding to the challenge, the vineyard soils of the region are notoriously poor, composed of volcanic ash and rocks. Nevertheless, the calcareous subsoils are porous, which helps to retain some of the humidity in the air and release it as moisture in the night for the vines to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the standout grape varieties of the region is Assyrtiko, a classy white grape that is possibly one of the greatest varieties found in the Mediterranean basin. Originating from Santorini, it has since spread all over Greece and become one of the most important native varietals in terms of quality. Assyrtiko mainly produces dry white wines, some of which are aged in oak, but a number of sweet wines are also made from sun-dried grapes. A unique and special aspect of vine pruning on Santorini is the Santorini “kouloura,” also known as the “wreath” or “basket” method. The origins of this technique are lost in time, but it has been perfected to such an extent that it not only provides the most suitable way of training the vines but also gives them the appearance of natural works of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 2009, Gaia has been submerging approximately 500 bottles of their Thalassitis off the east coast of Santorini each year. The wines are left to age in the depths of the ocean under exceptional conditions of stable temperatures, away from light and unaffected by oxygen. At 20 meters deep, an underwater cellar is formed, which at any given moment hosts four consecutive vintages of Thalassitis. The first attempt in 2009 saw only three bottles returned to the surface fully intact. Subsequent attempts with the 2010 and 2011 vintages saw 258 and 141 bottles survive, respectively. Unfortunately, the depth of 30 meters proved too ambitious, and the high pressure damaged the majority of the bottles from both the 2012 and 2013 vintages. Following these challenges, the winery adjusted the depth of submersion and the corks used, resulting in better-than-expected outcomes. The 2015 and 2016 vintages respectively “returned” 407 and 497 intact, incredible bottles. As with every past vintage, the outcome of the four-year-long stay in the underwater cellar is impressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outcome of the four-year-long stay in the underwater cellar is truly impressive, as with every past vintage. Thalassitis Submerged wine has a unique smoky aromatic dimension and a hydrocarbon note that gives it a rounder and evolved impression. Despite its misleading youth in colour, there is no sign of oxidation. This rare \"hybrid\" wine balances between youth and maturity, offering a bone-dry taste, strong character and a full-bodied, well-structured mouthfeel with crisp acidity, distinctive minerality and delicate honeysuckle aromas. To fully appreciate the wine's depth and complexity, it is best to decant it for 30 to 60 minutes before serving. Thalassitis Submerged pairs well with seafood, fish, shellfish, or even lamb stewed in lemon sauce, generally with flavours of moderate intensity where salt, sour or oil predominate. The wine has a medium golden colour and a nose that testifies to its marine origin. Intense aromas of petrol, grapefruit, citrus, lemon, honey and peach, dressed with sea breeze notes, create a unique and unforgettable experience. The mouthfeel is shockingly dense and expressive, with a rich body and sharp acidity. With just one sip, the whole range of yellow and green citrus fruits, along with generous doses of wet stone and smoke, are spread on your palate. In 2018, the vintage was characterized by extremely condensed wines, with very high acidities and incredible structure due in part to the extremely low yields. The relatively cool temperature of the days of harvest gifted the wines with bright and fresh aromas of citrus, stone fruit, tropical fruit, and white flowers that were more intense and complex than usual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Finer Details\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eStyle - White Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Assyrtiko\u003cbr\u003eCountry - Greece\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Santorini\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2018\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size - 750ml\u003cbr\u003eABV - 13%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gaía","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40202219782231,"sku":"GTSA18","price":899.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/gaia-thalassitis-submerged-assyrtiko-2018.png?v=1687327593"},{"product_id":"papagiannakos-assyrtiko-2023","title":"Papagiannakos Assyrtiko 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith a history that traces back to the year 1919, Papagiannakos Winery stands as a testament to the unwavering commitment of a family dedicated to producing exceptional wines that truly capture the essence of Greece's native grape varietals.

Originating from Santorini, Assyrtiko is responsible for producing the renowned PDO Santorini (ΠΟΠ Σαντορίνη) whites, which are known for their lean, mineral-driven and highly concentrated character. While primarily associated with Santorini, Assyrtiko has successfully been cultivated in various Greek wine regions, spanning from the Aegean Islands to Macedonia, Central Greece and even down to the Peloponnese.

With a combination of north-facing and south-facing vines, this wine has the opportunity to capture the distinct characteristics of the region. Harvested at the end of August, the grapes are carefully selected to ensure optimal ripeness while retaining their vibrant acidity. The delicate process of vinification begins with skin contact, allowing the juice to extract the grapes' full potential. Following this, fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks under controlled temperatures of 16-18 degrees Celsius, preserving the wine's freshness and purity. After fermentation, the Papagiannakos Assyrtiko 2022 undergoes maturation in the bottle for a year, allowing it to develop further complexity and depth.

These wines are known for their distinct flavour profile, aromatic qualities and their connection to Greek culture and heritage. What sets Retsina wines apart is the addition of pine resin during the winemaking process. Traditionally, this resin was used as a sealant for the wine vessels, protecting the precious liquid from oxidation and spoilage during transport and storage. Over time, the resin began to impart its characteristic flavour and fragrance to the wine, creating the distinct taste that is synonymous with Retsina. The base grape variety used in making Retsina wines is typically Savatiano, a white grape variety grown in Greece. Savatiano provides a neutral canvas for the resin to shine, allowing its unique flavors to take center stage. Alongside Savatiano, other grape varieties such as Roditis and Assyrtiko are also sometimes used. Although Retsina wines have a long history and traditional roots, winemakers today are experimenting with different approaches to create new expressions of this ancient style. Some producers are utilizing modern winemaking techniques and aging the wine in oak barrels, introducing additional complexity to the flavour profile. This has resulted in Retsina wines that showcase a balance between tradition and innovation. Retsina wines are not just a taste of Greece, but also a glimpse into ancient winemaking traditions that have remained relevant throughout history. With their unique flavour profile and strong cultural ties, Retsina wines offer an authentic and captivating experience for wine enthusiasts looking to explore the rich heritage of Greek wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-98942fc5-0 JcSiB\" data-testid=\"youchat-text\"\u003eSavatiano, the historical white grape variety of Greece, has long been a prominent presence in the country's vineyards. Whether it stands alone or is part of blends or PGI wines, Savatiano plays a significant role in the production of dry white wines. While it may have been overlooked in the past, recent developments have transformed Savatiano into a truly remarkable grape variety.  Today, the new and more contemporary profile of Savatiano wines has captured the hearts of even the most discerning wine lovers. These wines exude distinct aromas of yellow fruit and freshly cut grass, showcasing a round mouthfeel and a well-balanced presence. Achieving this new profile required immense efforts from producers in Attica and Central Greece, where Savatiano is widely cultivated. Through careful harvesting, they ensured the ideal acidity, while prefermentation-maceration and low fermentation temperatures injected the grape with freshness and enhanced aromatic intensity. The selection of specific clones from each terroir added complexity, and the exclusion of aged, goblet-pruned vines contributed to viscosity and length. Savatiano has emerged from its historical shadows to become a true gem in the world of Greek winemaking. With its revitalized profile and exceptional quality, Savatiano deserves recognition and appreciation from wine enthusiasts worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-98942fc5-0 JcSiB\" data-testid=\"youchat-text\"\u003ePapagiannakos Retsina is a fascinating rendition of the traditional retsina style, offering a unique experience that combines the familiar characteristics with a touch of modernity.

Upon pouring, the wine reveals a beautiful blond colour that entices the senses. On the nose, there is an inviting aroma of pine, reminiscent of the classic retsina style, accompanied by a delicate and refreshing strain of lemon.

The grapes for this exquisite retsina wine are sourced from north-facing vineyards in S.E. Attica. With vines that are 50 years old and grown in non-irrigated limestone soil at an altitude of 100 meters, the terroir lends distinctive characteristics to the final product. The grapes are carefully harvested around mid-September, ensuring optimal ripeness and flavour development. During vinification, classical white wine fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, with strict temperature control between 16-18°C. It is during this fermentation that pine resin is added from selected pine trees of Attica. This addition remains true to the traditional retsina production, infusing the wine with the unique resinous flavors that have become synonymous with the style.

Fine white soil, is spread on the ground to create a smooth surface ready for the mastic tears to fall on. The “kentima”, as the carving of small scars on the bark is called, is the most crucial stage in mastic production. It is done with the help of a small sharp metal tool with grooved ends, called kentitiri. Mastic is gathered before the first autumn rain and the cleaning and sorting process begins.

The resin forms droplets resembling tears and harvested using precise methods. While mastic trees grow throughout Greece, only those on the island of Chios produce this resin.

Cleaning and soil leveling take place so that any mastic tears that may fall on the ground can be easily gathered. Fine white soil, is spread on the ground to create a smooth surface ready for the mastic tears to fall on. The “kentima”, as the carving of small scars on the bark is called, is the most crucial stage in mastic production. It is done with the help of a small sharp metal tool with grooved ends, called kentitiri. Mastic is gathered before the first autumn rain and the cleaning and sorting process begins.

August and September were excellent for the ripening of the grapes, with average heat and great difference between day and night-time temperatures.  The season was reminiscent of classic vintages, when a cardigan under the plane tree was necessary in the evening even in the middle of the summer!
