Artemis Karamolegos Terra Nera Assyrtiko 2023
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 'entry level' Assyrtiko comes from relatively young vines, averaging only 50 years, from lower altitude vineyards. It was fermented and aged in stainless, on lees, for 6 months. Juicy and sleek with tangerine, lime blossom, mandarine pith, and pear skin skipping along a slender palate, lit with pink grapefruit acidity that lingers on the stony finish. A lively and smart example to the grape and region.Tasted: 24 August 2025Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $35.00 | 750ml | consignment |
