A rare moment in the history of Santorini wine is captured in the anniversary release of Vinsanto 2004 from Hatzidakis Winery. A wine that pays tribute to the volcanic soil of the island, the power of time, and the visionary spirit of Haridimos Hatzidakis.
Crafted from 80% Assyrtiko and 20% Aidani, the island’s native white varieties, the grapes were hand-harvested from certified organic vineyards and sun-dried under the intense Aegean sun for five days. This natural dehydration concentrated their sugars and aromas, producing a rich, viscous must that fermented slowly and matured for 16 full years in old French oak barrels.
The result is a deep, complex, and emotionally expressive Vinsanto, carrying the soul of its creator. Haridimos Hatzidakis, one of Greece’s most important winemakers, left an indelible mark on the global wine map.
Vinsanto 2004 from Hatzidakis Winery is a testament to Haridimos Hatzidakis’ enduring vision, which lives on through the next generation of the winery: a wine that doesn’t fear time—it embraces it.
