NYCHTERI 2020 - GAIA WINES

Nychteri from Gaia Winery is one of the most emblematic wines of the winery. Rich fruit, minerality and spicy barrel character compose a delicious and complex white wine.

Gaia winery is a beautiful winery in Exo Gonia of Santorini. Giannis Paraskevopoulos creates wines there with the local varieties and a strong element of the Santorini terroir. The volcanic soil, the sea air and the old self-rooted vineyards give wines of high concentration and incomparable elegance.

For the Nychteri of Gaia, they take the overripe Assyrtiko and combine it with a little Athiri and Aidani. Then the wine is aged in oak barrels, of different sizes and types. The final wine results from the blending of these barrels and there is hidden the secret of its charm.

The result has fantastic expressiveness and concentration, able to excite any lover of good wine.

Nychteri from Gaia has a mediocre lemon with golden highlights and a spicy nose that testifies to its origin: petrol notes, flint, gunpowder, honey, peach, lemon, grapefruit, toast, smoke, orange zest compose an explosive ensemble.

In the mouth it has a full body, with dense, tied fruit and sharp acidity that balances the fatness. Ripe peach, sweet lemon, hazelnut, toast, bergamot, orange, grapefruit and honey meet the mineral character expressed as a wet stone, gunpowder and smoke.
