Icon Assyrtiko, Anhydrous

Description

Originally founded in 2012 as Avantis Santorini, this dynamic Greek winery was renamed Anhydrous for the 2021 vintage. Anhydrous means ‘without water’, and references the brutal growing conditions on this beautiful island. This change was instigated by winemaker Apostolos Mountrichas and his wife Lenga Grigoriadou, who craved a new challenge and reinvention. Hence, Anhydrous came to be.

`Icon` is, as one might expect from the name, Anhydrous’ signature wine. Sourced from 60-year-old vines grown in Pyrgos, it is fermented and aged for nine months in concrete tanks. Tasting it is “like being caressed by an electrified silk handkerchief� according to Peter Pharos in the Santorini Assyrtiko 2022 Report on Tim Atkin's website. Awarded the title of `Other Santorini wine of the Year` in Tim Atkin's 2023 report.
