Why do we love it?
Cuvee Nykteri Argyros Estate is the third member of the Cuvee family of the winery and the spiciest of the three! Overripe grapes and 12 months of oak aging underline the richness and smoky character of Santorini’s Assyrtiko.
Argyros Estate is one of the oldest wineries on the island since it was founded in 1903. At the moment, Mathew Argyros, the 4th generation of the winery, is at the helm. The winery has 120 acres of vineyards on the island. The grapes for Cuvee NYkteri Argyros Estate come from vineyards of 150-200 years old from Megalochori and Pyrgos. Harvest is done 20 days later so that the grapes are overripe. The wine is then fermented in 500-liter barrels, barriques, and oak tanks. After fermentation, the wine matures in 12 months in oak barrels and another 12 months in stainless steel tanks, along with its fine wine lees. The result shows that it has all the potential to develop into an even greater, more complex wine with aging!
