{"product_id":"gavalas-winery-santorini-grece","title":"Gavalas Winery - Santorini - 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eLocated in the heart of the Cyclades archipelago, the Gavalas Estate's Santorini cuvée vineyard stretches around the traditional village of Megalochori, on the volcanic island of Santorini in the Aegean Sea. The vines, trained in low baskets to protect them from the winds, plunge their roots into soils of ash, pumice, and lava, poor in organic matter but rich in minerals. This insular terroir, marked by maritime influence and significant thermal amplitude, gives the wine a saline tension and a very pure expression of the indigenous grape variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Assyrtiko grapes are hand-harvested from Santorini's terraced vineyards, then carefully sorted before gentle pressing. The must is cold-settled, then ferments slowly in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to preserve the aromatic purity and typical minerality of the island. Aging continues on fine lees in stainless steel tanks, with regular bâtonnage, until bottling, to gain texture and complexity while maintaining a clear and taut expression of the volcanic terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eripe citrus\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003estone fruits\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003ewhite-fleshed fruits\u003c\/strong\u003e, complemented by delicate \u003cstrong\u003efloral\u003c\/strong\u003e touches, a marked \u003cstrong\u003emineral\u003c\/strong\u003e dimension, and subtle \u003cstrong\u003esaline\u003c\/strong\u003e nuances. The palate is ample and precise, driven by a vibrant \u003cstrong\u003eacidity\u003c\/strong\u003e that extends the structure, a slightly \u003cstrong\u003echalky\u003c\/strong\u003e texture, and a long, taut, and iodized finish, emphasizing the purity of the volcanic terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vin du Monde","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":58153020227932,"sku":null,"price":59.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Set of 2 bottles (75cl)","offer_id":58153020260700,"sku":null,"price":118.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0284\/0032\/0643\/files\/8569ce_de845296a49247fa8c716b35d9a990ec_mv2.jpg?v=1783006067","url":"https:\/\/www.lebaroudeurduvin.com\/en\/products\/gavalas-winery-santorini-greece","provider":"Le Baroudeur du Vin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
