Artemis Karamolegos 34 2022
Aegean Islands - Santorini, The Islands, GreeceArtemis Karamolegos is one of the most dynamic wineries on the unique island of Santorini. Led by his grandfather, who started making wine and cultivating vines as a hobby in the 1950s, Artemis founded the winery in 2004. They own just over 3ha of vineyards (some over 100 years old) across Pyrgos, Megalorchori, Exo Gonia, Akrotiri and Fira, and have long term contracts to farm another 5 hectares. This comes from very old assyrtiko vines (some of the oldest on the island), partially native fermented (10% in oak), where it remains for 8 months on lees. This streaks along the buzzy palate, buoyed with marine salinity, and vibrant with electricity. Green apple, white grapefruit, tight quince, and crystalline lemon are interwoven with salinity, long and taut, finishing with a humming echo of minerality. Such a striking, worthy wine, now and with time ahead.Tasted: 14 November 2024Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $70.00 | 750ml | consignment |
