🍇 Karipidis Estate "16 Area" Assyrtiko – A premium, single-variety Assyrtiko from the renowned Karipidis Estate in Vounaina, Larissa. Named after the estate's signature 16-hectare vineyard, this exceptional dry white wine is aged for 6 months in French oak barrels to achieve supreme complexity and structure.
✨ Tasting Notes: Bright lemon-gold in color. The nose is rich and multi-layered, revealing intense aromas of ripe stone fruits, citrus, and honey, seamlessly blended with notes of toasted nuts, vanilla, and a distinct mineral backbone. On the palate, it is full-bodied and beautifully textured with a subtle buttery oiliness, perfectly balanced by Assyrtiko’s trademark crisp acidity, leading to a remarkably long and complex finish.
🪵 Oak Aging & Cellaring: Partially aged in French oak casks for 6 months. While incredibly expressive in its youth, this wine has an exceptional aging potential and will develop beautifully over the next few years in your cellar.
🥩 Food Pairing: A highly gastronomic, robust white wine. It pairs phenomenally with rich grilled fish, seafood pasta, roasted poultry, or premium pork cuts, and stands up beautifully to intense, mature cheeses.
🇬🇷 Greek Terroir: Proudly produced in Vounaina, Larissa, Thessaly, Greece.
