Wine maker’s notes
Apostolos Mountrichas has been awarded many times for his red wines. He is called as the red winemaking virtuoso. Saint Nikolas is dedicated to his son Nikolas who loves sailors’ stories and sea travel. Saint Nikolas is the patron Saint of sailors. This wine is a prestige red wine, highlighting the red local Santorini grapes.
Winemaking: Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Co vinification of the two grape varieties. Malolactic fermentation.
Tasting Notes: Aromatic complexity of black fruits with a herbaceous character. Dry on the palate, full-bodied, with density, noticeable tannins, and remarkable acidity. Aromas of black fruits, vanilla, sweet spices & cassis, complete the impressive palate of Santorini red wine. Complex fruity, spicy aftertaste.
About Anhydrous
It all began in early 2000 when the winemaker Apostolos Mountrichas of Avantis Estate Winery in Evia, fell in love with Santorini and the strong personality of Assyrtiko.
In 2012 he returned back for the winemaking of the top indigenous variety in the incomparable volcanic terroir of Santorini.
His philosophy relies on wines with purity, primary varietal characteristics, and balance. Wines that reflect the connection to the Santorinian anhydrous land, the majesty of earth, the volcano, the sun, the sea breeze, the Cycladic air – the intense personality of this unique PDO land. High-quality wines sealed with the raw beauty of Santorini.
From April 2021, in the ninth year of its presence on the island, the Avantis Santorini Winery changes its name and appearance and evolves into Anhydrous.
The design of the new logo is a symbolic depiction of the vineyard and the unpredictable changing weather conditions that prevail on the island. The elements of nature alternate, contributing to the quality and complexity of the wines. Light – Water – Earth – Sun – Air – Fire – Sea, are presented in an image as a whole, with a design that refers to an old engraving, thus bridging the past with the future.
