Tselepos

Tselepos Santorini Laoudia Kanava Xrysou is perhaps one of the leading assyrtika on the market. Coming from a single vineyard, in the area of Laoudia in the Tower of Santorini, the grapes of the Assyrtiko variety are left to ripen before the harvest, which is of course manual. This is followed by fermentation in amphorae, where the wine remains there for 8 months together with its wine sludge to mature.

Tselepos Santorini Nychteri Kanava Xrysou was introduced to us in 2018 and is another label created from 100% Assyrtiko. From the estates of the Chrysos family in Santorini and with the knowledge and experience of Giannis Tselepos, the grapes of the vineyards over 120 years old, will give us their best characteristics. They will be collected at the limits of natural maturation and will be fermented in large oak barrels, wherever it remains for 8 months together with its fine wine lees.
