A fine dessert wine from the sun-dried grapes Assyrtiko and Aidani of Santorini. The 12 years maturation in oak barrels offers seductive aromas of honey, spices & caramelized fruits. Velvety palate with remarkable structure & exquisite, long aftertaste. Best serve at 8oC. Great ageing potential. Any sediment existing in the bottle is a normal effect of the ageing process.
