Gaía Νυχτέρι (Nychteri) 2020

Gaía Νυχτέρι is a traditional dry white wine from the volcanic island of Santorini, Greece, crafted primarily from the Assyrtiko grape. The grapes are harvested at night to preserve their freshness, a practice that gives the wine its name, 'Nychteri,' meaning 'night work.' Fermentation occurs in oak barrels, enhancing the wine's complexity and imparting subtle vanilla notes. The wine showcases a bright acidity and mineral character, typical of Santorini's unique terroir, with a full-bodied structure. It is designed for immediate enjoyment but can also develop further complexity with age.
