Tselepos Nychteri 2020

Drink it now or cellar for up to 5 years. No need to decant.

Located in Santorini, the Kanava Chrissou Tselepos winery was born from the collaboration of the oenologist Yiannis Tselepos, owner of the homonymous estate in Arcadia, with the Chrissou family of Santorini. The driving force behind this project was Yiannis Tselepos' endless search for new horizons in the wine business and the Chrissou family's dream to use their vineyards in Pyrgos, Emporio, and Mega. Their ultimate goal is to produce high quality wines, expressing the best of Santorini's winemaking potential.

Nychteri is Santorini's most traditional and famous white wine, produced from extra ripened Assyrtiko grapes traditionally pressed during the night. The grapes, coming from the Pyrgos area, are harvested manually. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in oak barrels, at a temperature of 15-16 ° C, followed by a period of aging of 8 months on the lees.

This is a wine of unique intensity. On the nose, it shows a good complexity of aromas with caramelized citrus, honeycomb, toasted nuts, butter and vanilla. In the mouth, it is exuberant and angular, with excellent concentration and persistent finish. It is a gastronomic wine with an interesting personality and good aging potential. Pair it with blue fish, crab, shellfish, white meats with white sauces or goat cheese.
