  • Ammonite Gaia Wines is the Assyrtiko that made a tremendous impression after it came first in 50 Great Greek Wines. Number 1 out of 50.
  • It had been years that Yiannis Paraskevopoulos has attended a specific plot in Santorini, observing how it expresses itself in the winemaking. Known as “Thalassina” this plot is a very old piece of land located in the highest spot of Megalohori, which steadily expresses the most typical characteristics of Santorini’s Assyrtiko with impressive intensity and, at the same time, finesse.  
  • “AMMONITE” is the wine that this plot gave birth to. The aim is to highlight both the variety and the plot. As always, the true face of a wine is hidden inside the stainless still tanks. Stainless still tanks along with a very small portion of the wine passing through old barrels, discretely complements and softens - even by Santorinian standards - the impressive acidity that this plot gives.
  • The winemaking process is minimalistic focusing on expressing the varietal characteristics.
  • Ammonite is a fossil: A bridge between land and sea. It is a concept that unites Santorini and Nemea and this is the reason why it is Gaia's logo after all. On Ammonite’s label one can see a sequence of numbers, widely known as Fibonacci Sequence. It is a geometric progression that defines the shape of the spiral, the shape of Ammonite itself, the golden section, thus, the perfection one can find in nature.
