"Pelagitis" Assyrtiko 2022, Vlassides
Pelagitis 2022 is a refined expression of Assyrtiko, shaped by the distinctive limestone soils of Cyprus, which lend the wine its clarity, structure, and age-worthy character. True to the variety’s heritage, this wine balances tension and maturity, offering both immediate pleasure and the promise of further evolution in the bottle.
Winemaking & Ageing
Pelagitis is released after two years of bottle ageing, allowing the wine to settle and integrate, while retaining the freshness and backbone that make Assyrtiko so suitable for continued development over time.
TASTING NOTES
Bright and luminous in appearance, Pelagitis opens with aromas of citrus peel, lemon blossom, and green apple, complemented by subtle saline and mineral notes drawn from the limestone-rich terroir. Hints of stone fruit and dried herbs emerge with aeration.
On the palate, the wine is precise and structured, driven by vibrant acidity and a pronounced mineral core. Flavors of lime, pear, and white peach are layered with a gentle chalky texture, leading to a clean, persistent finish marked by freshness and finesse.
Style & Character
Pelagitis 2022 is a mature yet dynamic white wine, showcasing the ability of Cypriot Assyrtiko to age gracefully. Elegant, mineral, and expressive, it is equally rewarding now and well-suited for further bottle ageing, where its personality will continue to unfold.
