Gaia Thalassitis Assyrtiko 2025

Monica Larner - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The Gai'a Wines 2025 Santorini Assyrtiko Thalassitis is a beautiful and classic expression of the variety, capturing the salty freshness that has made Santorini famous. Bright citrus and stone fruit aromas are layered over a core of maritime minerality, with more fruit richness than expected, lending the wine an especially appealing and complete personality. The palate is driven by vibrant, salty acidity that carries through a long, energetic finish. Despite a dramatic drop in vineyard production due to prolonged drought, this vintage succeeds by balancing the island's signature mineral character with an extra measure of fruit and charm.
