Anhydrous Winery Afoura 2021

It all started at the beginning of 2000, when the winemaker Apostolos Mountrichas of the Avantis Estate in Evia fell in love with Santorini and the strong personality of Assyrtiko. In 2012 he returned to vinify the top indigenous variety, in the volcanic terroir of Santorini. High quality wines, sealed with the raw beauty of the island, these are the wines of the Anhydrous winery.

The name of the wine has a reference to the large wooden casks of 1.000 liters, traditionally used in Santorini during wine making. The result is a wine with complex aromatic profile of citrus, flint, honey, bergamot in a broader mineral background, with tobacco notes and nuts. As with every P.D.O. Santorini, wine's mouth and body are those that create bigger expectation. This is an exuberant and "thick" wine with impressive condensation, typical minerality as well as sharp acidity. Long aftertaste rotating between mineral and buttery elements.
