Gaia Assyrtiko Thalassitis 2022

Gaia's Thalassitis ("Originating from the Sea" in Greek) is produced from Santorini's indigenous white grape variety, Assyrtiko grown on vineyards that are now approaching 80 years old. The flagship white of the Gaia portfolio, this white wine is bone-dry with strong character. Full-bodied, well-structured with crisp acidity, distinctive minerality and delicate honeysuckle aromas. This white wine will continue to evolve for 2-5 years, as the mineral notes soften the palate will develop more nuanced flavours of fruit and honey.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.

If it was Burgundy, not Greece, it would be 3 X the price

Beautiful wine.
I am a Chardonnay person, but I love this.
Why? Because it is, actually, reminiscent of Greek holidays. (That may be an illusion.)
