Vinsanto Argyros 12yr Old Sweet Dessert Wine
Everytime we taste this wine it brings a smile to our face. This is not your everyday sweet wine but an extremely complex and balanced wine painstakingly made. White grapes (mostly Assyrtiko) are dried in the sun for 2 weeks and aged for 12 years in barrels. A remarkable and complex wine with flavours of fig, raisin and salted caramel.

Estate Argyros
The Argyros family have been making wine on their estate in Santorini since 1903 with enthusiasm and pride – which has captured the estate, and the wines many prizes in recent years. Mathew Argyros is now running the estate which continues to produce classy mineral-laden whites made from some of the oldest vines on Santorini (up to 200 years old). Assyrtiko is the signature grape which is grown low to the ground to avoid the excessive heat and winds that freshen the vineyard’s micro climate. All soils are volcanic in origin leading to a distinct minerality in the wines.
