Estate Argyros Vinsanto ‘Heritage’ Vintage 1982 (500ml)

Estate Argyros Vinsanto ‘Heritage’ Vintage 1982 (500ml)

Regular price $342.00

An Assyrtiko-dominant blend with smaller components of Athiri & Aidani. Grapes are sun-dried for two weeks after manual harvest. Spontaneously fermented in cement. Extremely long and careful aging in a mixture of thoroughly used Russian, French and Austrian oak barrels ranging in size from 300L to 1350L. Approx 300 g/L of RS. Bottled in 2025.

“Deep browny ochre at the rim and mahogany at the core. A bit like the colour of coffee but not as dark. Intense and rich aroma that has so much complexity that it is hard to describe, both nutty and full of dried orange peel and prunes but also polished wood and mushrooms crossed with caramelised apricots. Intensely viscous, incredibly sweet (look at the RS!) and yet so fresh and vibrant. Incredibly hard to spit – not just because it is delicious but also because it is so viscous and mouth-coating. All that sweetness is so well balanced by the acidity that although it finishes sweet, it is not cloying. Immensely long finish and still a long life ahead!” Jancis Robinson, 19/20.

Details

These are not wines produced recently and held back. They are wines that were made, put away, and essentially forgotten until the family decided the time was right, seeing the hands of no fewer than four generations of the Argyros family in the process. The three vintages being released are 1982, 1974, and 1947. The 1947 Vinsanto was the first wine from Greece ever to receive a perfect 100-Point score from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate.
