Vinsanto 1947 from Estate Argyros has just been released for the first time, and it is among the rarest and most collectible Greek wines in existence. After nearly 80 years of aging in barrels, Matthew Argyros made the decision to bottle this masterpiece, giving a handful of lucky collectors the chance to own a profound piece of Greek wine history. And let’s not forget: Vinsanto 1947 was the first Greek wine to ever receive the legendary 100 points from Robert Parker.

Estate Argyros needs no introduction. For decades it has been one of the most important ambassadors of Santorini wine, with countless distinctions in Greece and abroad. Their extensive holdings of privately owned vineyards allow them full control over fruit quality, while their access to extremely old vines adds remarkable depth to the wines they craft.

When it comes to Vinsanto, it’s no coincidence that Argyros is considered the benchmark for the style. They treat it with even greater precision and care than their Santorini Assyrtiko expressions. The grapes for the 1947 Vinsanto Estate Argyros came from an old vineyard in Episkopi, a blend primarily of Assyrtiko with small additions of Athiri and Aidani. Following tradition, the grapes were sun‑dried for about two weeks before aging in old barrels of various sizes—where this wine remained from the 1947 harvest, a total of 79 years.

We were fortunate enough to taste it, and quite simply, there are no words that can fully describe the emotion of experiencing such a historic wine.

Quantities are extremely limited… so first come, first served.
