WINE DESCRIPTION
Idisma Drios Assyrtiko is a distinguished white wine from Wine Art Estate, hailing from Greece. Crafted from grapes grown in the cool-climate regions of Mikrochori and Kali Vrisi, this Assyrtiko thrives on the region's cold winters and refreshing north winds. The winemaking process begins with a cold soak of the grape skins to enhance aromatic richness, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks. After the initial fermentation, the wine matures in 225-liter French oak barrels for about six months, with manual bâtonnage employed to develop its volume, density, and creamy texture. The result is an exuberant wine that balances the lemony vibrancy characteristic of Assyrtiko with a concentrated, well-rounded profile.

The citrus flavors continue to shine through, with additional hints of green apple and a touch of salinity. The wine's medium body and smooth texture contribute to its overall elegance.
