Light-red dessert wine having flavors on the chocolate side along with raisin and honey, finishing with a nutty flavor. I had it with Chicken Vindaloo but this would pair better with Lamb Vindaloo. Good for chocolate desserts. — 2 years ago

Blend of Mandilaria and Mavro Aidani
Intense fresh sour black cherries, pomegranate juice, a whiff of black pepper, allspice.
On the palate this is fresh, with vibrant acidity and nice, juicy acidity.

The Iconic Wines of Estate Argyros – Santorini’s Volcanic Elegance in a Glass
On the windswept volcanic slopes of Santorini, Estate Argyros crafts some of the island’s most expressive and age-worthy wines. This historic family-run estate, founded in 1903, combines deep-rooted tradition with modern precision to showcase the full potential of Santorini’s unique terroir—defined by volcanic soils, scarce rainfall, and sun-drenched vineyards.
🍷 Cuvée Evdemon
One of the estate’s flagships, this biodynamic Assyrtiko is sourced from old, ungrafted vines and reflects power, minerality, and finesse. A wine of great depth and aging potential, with citrus oil, wet stone, and saline energy on the palate.
🍷 Cuvée Monsignori
Named after one of the oldest vineyards on the island, Monsignori is a single-vineyard expression of Assyrtiko, made from vines over 200 years old. It’s precise, textured, and layered—combining volcanic tension with elegant complexity.
🍷 Vinsanto 4, 12 & 20 Years
These legendary sweet wines, made from sun-dried Assyrtiko, Aidani, and Athiri grapes, are a tribute to Santorini’s history. Aged for years in oak barrels, they offer stunning aromas of dried apricot, honey, caramel, and spice. Rich, balanced, and endlessly long on the finish.
🍷 Cuvée Palatia (New Release)
The latest jewel in Argyros’ crown, Cuvée Palatia is a bold yet refined new interpretation of Assyrtiko. Crafted from a meticulous blend of grapes from seven different vineyard plots, each adding its own nuance, the wine is strikingly complex. Vibrant acidity, intense minerality, and layers of citrus, flint, and white flowers make this a truly distinctive, age-worthy wine that speaks of place, precision, and innovation.
Estate Argyros’ premium wines are more than just drinks—they are stories bottled in glass, capturing the essence of Santorini’s raw, ancient beauty and the passionate craftsmanship behind every vintage. A must for any serious wine lover. — a year ago

Härlig aidani från Santorini. 100% ståltank men har till trots en grym textur och oljig munkänsla. Frukten är återhållsam utan att någonsin försvinna. Nätmelon, päron och lime. Grym mineralitet och lång fin syra. — 8 years ago
Outstanding, this wine has so much more than simply being sweet. Piney and resinous, it fluctuates between flavors of sugar dusted dried apricots, candied lemons, marzipan, and honeycomb with pine sap, pollen, chaparral, white balsamic, mint and blanched herbs adding a more savory complexity. Unctuous and long. 80% Assyrtiko, 10% Aidani, 10% Athiri.

This was super complex. It grew on me as it breathed. 45% Assyrtiko, 35% Malagouzia, 15% Vidiano and 5% Aidani. Mangos. Hints of vanilla. Enjoyed at Koufadakis in Halkidiki. — 2 years ago
Popped and poured. The 2019 “Nykteri” is a blend of 90% Assyrtiko with the balance comprising of some Athiri and Aidani. This was utterly beautiful with bright, powerful lemon citrus fruits and tremendous minerality. The acidity, which was in the medium+/high category, was sneaky well hidden. There was very deft use of large format oak (a combination of used and new) that combines well with the sur-lie style and makes this drop dead gorgeous. The finish was packed with minerals, saline and went on forever. A killer pairing with grilled octopus and coquettes with arseniko from Naxos and apaki. — 3 years ago
This was bangin! Lots of saltiness. And hints of honey. Not as crisp and lemony as most Assyrtiko wines. Lots more depth and intricacies. 80% Assyrtiko, 10% Aidani, and 10% Athiri — 4 years ago
Med lemon.
Clean youthful aromas with med intensity of lemon, honey, stone, jasmine.
Appealing dry palate, med+ bright acidity, high but well integrated alcohol, full body, pronounced intensity.
Long acid stone finish.
Very good wine, a blend loaded with the wonders of santorini: minerality and acidity. Mineral character, can drink now, suitable for further aging.

First time with this very rare variety. A lot of lemon and honey. Melons. Very different than Assyrtiko or Aidani. — 8 years ago
Made from sun dried Assyrtiko grapes, aged in old French oak casks for over a decade. The wine is riddled with volatile acidity, not surprising considering the production methods - and while that overwhelms the nose, it adds so much ethereal brightness to the palate. Prunes, lemon extract, fig, molasses, sweet medicinal herbs, wintergreen, quinine, pine sap, and dried flowers. Viscous, yet focused and expansive. 90% Assyrtiko, 5% Aidani, 5% Athiri.
