Call them bold, call them visionaries — three young individuals, Giannis Valambous, Ilias Roussakis, and Giannis Papaoikonomou, dared to invest both money and countless hours of personal effort in crisis-stricken Greece, choosing an island whose vineyards are constantly shrinking due to growing tourism development.
One of the newest wineries in Santorini is making an Assyrtiko that has already established itself among the island’s finest and is gaining international recognition. Named after the black volcanic rock formed from the cooling of basaltic lava that covered Santorini after a volcanic eruption nearly 4,000 years ago, Vassaltis Winery is now producing exceptional wines and welcoming countless visitors each year.
Very different from its 2015 and 2017 vintages, Santorini 2021 by Vassaltis gives center stage to the island’s terroir and the Assyrtiko variety. With a particularly low yield that doesn’t exceed 150–200 kg per stremma (0.1 hectare), the result is intensely concentrated fruit. The 6-month lees aging, with regular bâtonnage, added richness and complexity, shaping an exquisitely enjoyable Santorini — ready to drink now or even in 5 years’ time. Rich and full-bodied, this wine seamlessly blends with the island’s distinctive mineral profile, earning its rightful place among the finest vintages.
We’ve meticulously cellared it at Botilia, ensuring it ages to perfection. Now, the moment has arrived to savor this exquisite wine at its peak!
