Wine maker’s notes
Vinification:
White grapes sourced primarily from the privately-owned vineyards “Mesa Pariani” and “Lakos” in the Pyrgos area of Santorini. The free-run juice is collected and undergoes static settling at 13.5°C for 24 hours. Fermentation is controlled with selected yeasts at 16.5°C. The wine is then aged on fine lees in tanks for two months, followed by 36 months of maturation in 3-year-old oak barrels. Bottling took place in the first week of August 2022.
Tasting Notes:
A pronounced aromatic profile featuring ripe yellow fruits, subtle hints of roasted nuts, vanilla, limestone, and hay. On the palate, it is balanced and full-bodied, with a strong mineral character and a velvety texture that imparts a slight sweetness due to the alcohol. The finish is intense, lingering, and pleasant.
Tip: The shipping cost per bottle drops significantly the more bottles you buy. Join forces with friends and family to buy more bottles and bring the cost down.
Important notes:
-It is an offense to purchase or attempt to purchase alcoholic liquor if you are under the age of 18.
-The price includes safe packaging cost
About Venetsanos Winery
Venetsanos winery is located right above the port of Athinios, overlooking the magnificent caldera of Santorini. The Venetsanos family has a very long tradition in producing wine. Originally was produced for the island and subsequently, it was exported extensively, and particularly to countries such as Russia. It was built in 1947 by Venetsanos family and became the first industrial winery on the island. Its most distinguishing feature is the structural design, which essentially used gravity, facilitating energy efficiency, at a time when access to electricity and other energy sources was very limited. The winery was built in an unconventional manner constructed from above and moving downwards.
The Venetsanos winery, that can now be visited, is the culmination of this rich family tradition with the recently revamped buildings. The exceptional architectural structure is combined with the history of one of the most important wine producers in the Aegean. The winery is located in the most breathtaking location offering incredible vistas over the caldera and volcanic islands.
The winery today offers you the chance to walk through and discover the history and tradition as well as the new winemaking techniques. You are able to take a detailed tour of the winery from our expert staff while also tasting some of our exceptional wines
