2024 Gavalas Posta Cyclades

Gavalas family winery is one of the oldest wineries in Santorini, the beautiful Greek volcanic island in the Aegean Sea.  The fourth generation winemaker is George Gavalas and the fifth is his son, Vagelis, and together in Santorini they vinify ancient indigenous Greek varieties. 

Assyrtiko has emerged as the flagship white grape of Greece and its home is in Santorini with its volcanic-ash-rich soil.  The Gavalas Posta is a blend of Assyrtiko, from the village of Megalochori in Santorini and Megalochori from Paros, the Aegean island just north. 

A Greek alternative to Chablis.  Aromas and flavours of green apple, citrus, quince and white flowers.  Bone-dry, medium-bodied with good acidity and a refreshing finish.
