Gai’a (pronounced Yay-ya) Estate’s 2018 Assyrtiko Santorini “Thalassitis” has sea salt and lemon zest aromas that immediately transport you to the beaches of Santorini. The wine is seriously thirst-quenching, with the perfect amount of juiciness and crisp acidity that are needed to foil these hot summer days. It has the distinct minerality you’d expect from a volcanic island with a briny edge. The delicate lemon, lime, and honeysuckle flavors give it a bright and lingering finish.
