    Santorini Volcanic Assyrtiko

    Phylloxera destroyed every major wine region's original roots between 1860 and 1900. Santorini lost zero vines. The volcanic pumice has no clay — the louse died trying. Some kouloura basket vines are 300 years old, on their original ungrafted roots, predating the French Revolution. Estate Argyros farms 120 hectares of these survivors. The EU confirmed in 2002 that Santorini owns the name 'Vinsanto' over Tuscany. The caldera you watch at sunset IS the 1620 BC eruption that ended Minoan civilization and deposited the soil that makes the wine possible.
