Product Notes

Gaia Assyrtiko by Gaia Wild Ferment is an enchanting Greek white wine, swirling with a beautiful harmony of flavours. With origins in the rocky volcanic soil of Santorini, it features a complex medley of bright citrus fruits, minerality, and a sumptuously creamy texture, imparted by wild yeast fermentation. The wine showcases the unique character of the Assyrtiko grape variety, creating an impressive full-bodied structure, while remaining strikingly fresh and vibrant. It pairs delightfully with seafood and light Mediterranean dishes. Gaia Wild Ferment Assyrtiko is a captivating testament to how tradition and innovation can coalesce to produce something truly extraordinary.

Tasting Notes

A highly complex, aromatic nose and funky nose, with citrus notes combining with floral hints from the acacia wood, vanilla, toasty oak and a touch of smoke. The layers of wild ferment envelop this precise and dry wine which has a mineral and salty complexity to the tangy finish. This is a truly unique wine.
