Artemis Karamolegos
Santorini Dry White

Artemis Karamolegos is one of the most dynamic wineries on the unique island of Santorini. Led by his grandfather, who started making wine and cultivating vines as a hobby in the 1950s, Artemis founded the winery in 2004. They own just over 3ha of vineyards (some over 100 years old) across Pyrgos, Megalorchori, Exo Gonia, Akrotiri and Fira, and have long term contracts to farm another 5 hectares. This comes from vines averaging 80 years, and blends 90% assyrtiko and 10% blend of Athiri / Aidani. This was fermented and aged in stainless, on lees for 7 months. Wild pear, quince skin, wild lemon streak across a streamlined palate, lit with mineral salts, and bedded with a fine slick of lees. The finish lingers with a fine textural grip. Striking, ideally with seafood.
