Artemis Karamolegos Santorini 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 vines averaging 80 years and blends 90% assyrtiko and 10% blend of Athiri / Aidani. This was fermented and aged in stainless on lees for seven months. White grapefruit, green fig, mandarin, tight quince streaks across the palate, swelled with an effortless marine acidity, and kissed with salinity. Quite a smart, fresh, pure look at the island and assyrtiko.Tasted: 14 November 2024Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $60.00 | 750ml | consignment |
