Made from 90% Assyrtiko with 10% Athiri and Aidani, the wine is fresh, linear and nicely focused. However, it is less complex than the estate's upper-tier bottlings and feels somewhat lean on the finish, showing less depth and persistence than its 14% alcohol might suggest. Produced in 14,000 bottles from old vines averaging 80 years of age, this is a straightforward and accessible introduction to the Karamolegos style. First released under the \"Kouloura\" name in 2023 and replacing the entry-level Santorini bottling, the wine takes its identity from the traditional basket-trained vines that have become one of Santorini's most enduring viticultural symbols.

Aromas of pie crust, lemon cream and Chantilly lead to notes of apricot skin, nectarine and stony minerality. A subtle oily note on the finish adds texture and breadth, giving the wine a richer profile than many young Santorini Assyrtikos. Despite this extra weight, the palate remains fresh, angular and complex. The mineral character is more stone-driven than overtly saline, making this a particularly versatile food wine, especially with grilled shrimp and shellfish. Produced in 9,000 bottles from century-old vines rooted in Santorini's volcanic soils, the wine ages on its lees for 12 months. Fruit from five villages (Pyrgos, Megalochori, Exo Gonia, Akrotiri and Fira) is used in the blend.

Notes of lemon peel and apricot skin give way to a distinctly flinty character reminiscent of struck stone, silex and graphite. There is a notable waxiness and mid-palate richness to the wine, yet that textural weight is cut cleanly by briny freshness and a palpable mineral drive. The overall impression is steely and intensely focused, with less of the floral generosity found in the 34 bottling. Produced in 7,000 bottles from three vineyards of ungrafted vines more than 120 years old in Pyrgos and Megalochori, the wine is vinified parcel by parcel and aged primarily in stainless steel, with a small proportion fermented in neutral oak. This is a fascinating expression of Assyrtiko that speaks of stone, fire and volcanic soils.
