2016 | Santorini, Cyclades

Gaia Thalassitis Submerged

The most special wine in our webshop is undoubtedly the Gaia Thalassitis Submerged! It once started as an experiment. Meanwhile, wine lovers are fighting over the sought-after bottles. Why? Every year, winery Gaia deposits a small number of bottles on the seabed of Santorini. Completely cut off from oxygen, the assyrtiko remains there for 4 years. It produces a unique white wine like you've never tasted before. The Gaia Thalassitis Submerged scores very high on Vivino for a reason. Only one bottle of the Gaia Thalassitis Submerged 2016 is available. Like all good things, it comes with a price tag. But in return you will receive a unique bottle - complete with barnacles and all - which will blow everyone away.

About the winemakers

The two wanderlust and studious Yiannis Paraskevopoulos and Leon Karatsalos established winehouse Gaia in the year 1994. Their goal was to serve every wine enthusiast worldwide with the best wines of Greek soil. To make this work they developed winehouse’s in the most important vineyard regions in Greece: Santorini and Nemea. On the island Santorini lies a winehouse near the beach in a beautiful industrial building from the 18 century where cherry tomatoes were being turned to tomato puree. Now the building is being used in a mix of old characteristics and high-tech modern appliances to make delicious wine. The winehouse in Nemea lies in the heart of the vineyard in Koutsi at approximately 550 metres above sea level. On the top of a mountain. With the beautiful view on the great plains of Nemea and the valley of the Asopos river.
