@wineapp (The Wine App): Hey Everyone! #SommChat

@enjoielife (Judia Black): @KeeperColl @jenoflanagan @Santoriniwines Good morning! Ready for #SommChat!

@KeeperColl (Keeper Collection): Q. @gaiayiannip Santorini’s vineyards R said 2 B the oldest in the world. Pls tell us more abt that & how that’s been determined. #SommChat

@gaiayiannip (Yani Paraskevopoulos): A. Age on vines means age of the root system… In our case root system is between 4 & 5 centuries. Can you name of an older vineyard ? #SommChat

@wineapp (The Wine App): @gaiayiannip Nope! #SommChat

@harleywine1 (Harley Carbery): @KeeperColl @gaiaviannip & @voyatzis #SommChat hello from #vegas favorite #wine from #greece? Not your own. #ww

@gaiayiannip (Yani Paraskevopoulos): @harleywine1 A. A red #wine from Parparousis vineyard called TAOS, it is an 100% Mavrodaphnie grapes #SommChat

@winecompass (WineCompass): @gaiayiannip Over that time, roots must have to reach very deep. Any estimates how deep? #SommChat

@gaiayiannip (Yani Paraskevopoulos): @winecompass A. About 8 to 10 m. Seeking for water that they will never find ! #SommChat

@enjoielife (Judia Black): @gaiayiannip @winecompass Wow, that’s deep. The struggle must give the vines quite some character! #SommChat

@gaiayiannip (Yani Paraskevopoulos): @enjoielife A. It’s all about minerality. Only mature root systems can really express terroir. #SommChat

@MauricesCru (maurice dimarino): Q. @voyatzis We have seen an increase in white #wines from #greece. What so you think the future holds for reds? #SommChat

@voyatzis (Yannis Voyatzis): @MauricesCru a we see a great future for some reds too but Santorini whites are in front at the moment #SommChat

@forknbottle (Adam Caperton): Gotta go sell #wine… Love #Santorini #SommChat Hi to @gaiayiannip met you on Santorini w @atheneewines in 2011… Beautiful #wines!!!

@KeeperColl (Keeper Collection): Q. @gaiayiannip Are any of these ancient #winemaking traditions and techniques still in use among #Santorini #winemakers today? #SommChat #WW

@gaiayiannip (Yani Paraskevopoulos): A. @KeeperColl Yes but only for what it concerns the production of those sweet VINSANTO. #SommChat

@tara_devon (Tara Devon O’Leary): Q. @voyatzis @gaiayiannip We know Assyrtiko is fabulous, what are some of the lesser known white grapes we should look for? #SommChat

@gaiayiannip (Yani Paraskevopoulos): @tara_devon A. For #Greece in general Robola of Kefalonia, Moschofilero from Mantinia. From Santorini there is Aidani. #SommChat

@voyatzis (Yannis Voyatzis): hello I am here #SommChat

@winecompass (WineCompass): Q. @voyatzis @gaiayiannip Can you also discuss the circular nature of the vineshttp://2.bp.blogspot.com/TOTbdDUHuG0/UREcemcrV9I/AAAAAAAACXI/i-gn5u5J9kA/s200/santorini_vine.PNG … #SommChat

@gaiayiannip (Yani Paraskevopoulos): @winecompass A. This system offers protection to the clusters against wind and sun-burns. #SommChat

@_LaurenKG (Lauren Kate Garcia): @winecompass love the circular vines! @Santoriniwines brought some back to NYC last week #SommChat pic.twitter.com/jthHPR75Z5

@CharlesComm (Charles Comm PR): Awesome! RT @_LaurenKG: @winecompass love the circular vines! @Santoriniwines brought to NYC last week #SommChat pic.twitter.com/pjJJ6GyVn6

@KeeperColl (Keeper Collection): Q. @voyatzis What is known about ancient #winemaking traditions and techniques on #Santorini? #SommChat #WW

@voyatzis (Yannis Voyatzis): A. @KeeperColl we have a detailed description on how sweet #wines were made in antiquity by Hesiodos #SommChat

@KeeperColl (Keeper Collection): Q. @gaiayiannip What is unique about #Santorini, with regards to terroir? (varietals, soil, aspect, microclimate, etc.) #SommChat #WW

@gaiayiannip (Yani Paraskevopoulos): A. @KeeperColl very rich in mineral soil, since it’s a volcano + a very mature root system + non grafted vines. #SommChat

@winecompass (WineCompass): Is this a natural condition or are they shaped? RT @gaiayiannip: A. This system offers protection to the clusters against wind … #SommChat

@tara_devon (Tara Devon O’Leary): @gaiayiannip Thanks! I’m now on the hunt for Aidani! #SommChat

@ormiga (ormiga): .@KeeperColl .@gaiayiannip am only superficially aware of #santorini #geology so what are its #wine’s characteristics #SommChat

@gaiayiannip (Yani Paraskevopoulos): @ormiga A. #Wines of a high acidity (pH always lower than 3,0 !), high minerality, low aromatic intensity, very structured. #SommChat

@harleywine1 (Harley Carbery): @KeeperColl @voyatzis are there any drawbacks to all the history, very old vines and traditions of greek #winemaking? #SommChat #ww

@voyatzis (Yannis Voyatzis): @harleywine1 a we are working on understanding and exploring old varieties found i Santorini #SommChat

@noblewines (Christopher Miller): RT @gaiayiannip: @winecompass A. About 8 to 10 m. Seeking for water that they will never find ! #SommChat non-irrigated correct

@alawine (Ken Alawine Waggoner): @gaiayiannip: Age on vines means age of the root system… In our case… between 4 & 5 centuries. #SommChat < that’s amazing

@winecompass (WineCompass): Let me know when you find some RT @tara_devon: @gaiayiannip Thanks! I’m now on the hunt for Aidani! #SommChat

@AdamPlotkin (Adam Plotkin): What is your fav Greek varietal #SommChat tweeps? Not sure have had enough to claim a fav yet, but sure like #Moschofilero as summer sipper!

@tara_devon (Tara Devon O’Leary): @adamplotkin Agreed! #Moschofilero is perfect for summer (or any day in Florida!) I was sipping 1 on last episode of #ThePunchDown #SommChat

@marycressler (Mary Cressler): @tara_devon Towards the bottom of this article is some recs for Aidani you may be able to find where you are. #SommChat @gaiayiannip

@ormiga (ormiga): .@KeeperColl @gaiayiannip I have a pic of a #greece white #wine on iPhone but try pronounce it was #fun #SommChat

@jenoflanagan (jen o’flanagan): @AdamPlotkin We here love Assyrtiko from Santorini the most right now #SommChat

@_LaurenKG (Lauren Kate Garcia): Agreed! RT @jenoflanagan: @AdamPlotkin We here love #Assyrtiko from #Santorini the most right now #SommChat

@winecompass (WineCompass): Q. @voyatzis @gaiayiannip We know #Santorini days are hot, what about night time cooling? #SommChat

@gaiayiannip (Yani Paraskevopoulos): @winecompass A. Days are hot but not excessively. At nights temperature drops by some 10 degrees C. #SommChat

@voyatzis (Yannis Voyatzis): @winecompass a the pruning is giving that basket shape, #SommChat

@voyatzis (Yannis Voyatzis): @winecompass a when the basket becomes too big they cut it and start from the beginning #SommChat

@vtwinemedia (Todd Trzaskos): #SommChat really enjoyed crisp http://www.estate-argyros.com/Atlantis-white.html … with an “Unorthodox” Easter feast in 2011 @Santoriniwines

@Smallwinemakers (Small Winemakers Col): Q How many #wineries are making Assyrtiko on Santorini and is that number growing or declining? #SommChat

@gaiayiannip (Yani Paraskevopoulos): @Smallwinemakers A. Presently there are 11 #wineries. The number is expected to grow. Hi guys… #SommChat

@KeeperColl (Keeper Collection): Q. @gaiayiannip Were the ancient #wines predominantly #Assyrtiko, as is the case today? #SommChat #WW

@gaiayiannip (Yani Paraskevopoulos): @KeeperColl A. It is what we believe, based on the archeological findings in the #Assyrtiko excavation site. #SommChat

@noblewines (Christopher Miller): RT @AdamPlotkin: What is your fav Greek varietal #SommChat tweeps? Fan of Agiorgitiko. Can’t pronounce though

@AdamPlotkin (Adam Plotkin): @noblewines We need to learn pronunciation in time to drink it from the Cup! #NYRangers #SommChat

@ormiga (ormiga): .@gaiayiannip ok..so #fish & tarts crepes go well with it? any other usually? #SommChat

@gaiayiannip (Yani Paraskevopoulos): @ormiga A. Nature made oysters to best mach the #Assyrtiko of Santorini…!!! #SommChat

@marycressler (Mary Cressler): So true!!! RT @gaiayiannip: @ormiga A. Nature made oysters to best mach the #Assyrtiko of Santorini…!!! #SommChat

@KeeperColl (Keeper Collection): Q. @voyatzis What determines whether an #Assyrtiko is ageworthy, and how does it evolve over time? #SommChat #WW

@voyatzis (Yannis Voyatzis): A. @KeeperColl #Assyrtiko has great potential in acidity and mouth feel structure compounds #SommChat

@KeeperColl (Keeper Collection): Q. @gaiayiannip For people unfamiliar with #Assyrtiko, is there another varietal to compare it to? #SommChat #WW

@gaiayiannip (Yani Paraskevopoulos): @KeeperColl A. Try a blend of #Riesling with #Albarino… #SommChat

@VineyardGate (Alex Bernardo): I can dig that RT”@gaiayiannip: @KeeperColl A. Try a blend of Riesling with Albarino… #SommChat”

@noblewines (Christopher Miller): “@italianwineguy: RT @AdamPlotkin: We need to learn pronunciation in time to drink it from the Cup! #NYRangers #SommChat” swede wine?

@AdamPlotkin (Adam Plotkin): @italianwineguy @noblewines Chris–we have another #NYRangers fan lurking in our #SommChat midsts! Welcome Alfonso!

@marycressler (Mary Cressler): @italianwineguy @AdamPlotkin @noblewines I believe @elloinos had a great video of his kids pronouncing the wines of Greece. #SommChat

@AdamPlotkin (Adam Plotkin): @gaiayiannip @italianwineguy Let’s blend them and really get tough! #Gewurztraminyrtiko???? #SommChat

@enjoielife (Judia Black): @noblewines @gaiayiannip @ormiga I’ll take Assyrtiko with oysters any day! #SommChat

@AdamPlotkin (Adam Plotkin): @noblewines @gaiayiannip @ormiga #Chablis may throw its hat in the ring too! #SommChat

@elloinos (Markus Stolz): Q @voyatzis @gaiayiannip What is your rough estimate of average age of winemakers/winery owners? Is next generation getting ready? #SommChat

@gaiayiannip (Yani Paraskevopoulos): @elloinos A. The average would be around 60 years old for the vine growers of Santorini… Wine makers would be around 45. #SommChat

@foodwinechickie (Veronique N. Deblois): Can’t think of many better pairings for Assyrtiko than this: http://bit.ly/Y4wPxT #SommChat #greekwine #ww

@VineyardGate (Alex Bernardo): .@gaiayiannip Do you produce roses in Santorini? #SommChat

@voyatzis (Yannis Voyatzis): @VineyardGate a very rare and a specialty from Mandilaria and Mavrotrgano #SommChat

@enjoielife (Judia Black): @KeeperColl @gaiayiannip For people unfamiliar with # Assyrtiko, is there another varietal to compare it to? #SommChat #WW

@voyatzis (Yannis Voyatzis): @KeeperColl a Athiri is usually blended with Assyrtiko and Aidani which is better used for Vinsanto #SommChat

@KeeperColl (Keeper Collection): Q. @voyatzis Tell us about the other varieties grown in #Santorini, and how terroir influences them. #SommChat #WW

@voyatzis (Yannis Voyatzis): A. @KeeperColl a terroir influences some kind the same way all the varieties too long ot explain in a tweet #SommChat

@voyatzis (Yannis Voyatzis): A. @KeeperColl a Mavrotragano gives excellent reds and Mandilaria is also used for red sweets #SommChat

@KeeperColl (Keeper Collection): Q. @gaiayiannip Tell us about the different styles of wine you produce with #Assyrtiko (fresh, Nikteri, sweet) #SommChat #WW

@gaiayiannip (Yani Paraskevopoulos): @KeeperColl A. At GAIA no Nikteri. Too rustic for my taste. We do a Wild Ferment on wood, a steely fresh and a funky VINSANTO. #SommChat

@RetaKay13 (Reta Coker Crowe): @italianwineguy #SommChat Letting you know I found a Barbera, haven’t drunk it yet. Was sick 2 weeks & wanted my taste buds 2 recover!

@ormiga (ormiga): .@enjoielife @noblewines @gaiayiannip @marycressler send #a380 or galleon=me swim for that experience #SommChat

@KeeperColl (Keeper Collection): Q. @voyatzis What trends have you seen on #Santorini with regards to #wine? Any new styles? #SommChat #WW

@voyatzis (Yannis Voyatzis): A. @KeeperColl a we producing lower alcohol wines more flowery and some sparkling are comming soon #SommChat

@ormiga (ormiga): .@AdamPlotkin @noblewines @gaiayiannip real #chablis from #france is beautiful! 1st thought of chablis when descibed its charac #SommChat

@akawinegeek (Steve Olson): please talk about the ancient method of propagating the vines in Santorini that leads some to say they are thousands of years old #SommChat

@gaiayiannip (Yani Paraskevopoulos): @akawinegeek A. Hi Steve. Are u sure you don’t know this answer ? #SommChat

@gaiayiannip (Yani Paraskevopoulos): @akawinegeek A. Well once the roots reach 3 to 4 centuries of age they do degenerate so we need to replant. Not grafted ! #SommChat

@alawine (Ken Alawine Waggoner): @enjoielife > @gaiayiannip It’s all about minerality. Only mature root systems can really express terroir. #SommChat < digging deep

@KeeperColl (Keeper Collection): Q. @gaiayiannip What challenges for grape growers and #winemakers does the region pose? #SommChat #WW

@voyatzis (Yannis Voyatzis): A. @KeeperColl a keep the surface planted with Assyrtiko against tourism by increasing quality and perceived value of our wines #SommChat

@marycressler (Mary Cressler): A fav pic of @gaiayiannip and his team from when I visited Santorini last summer. #SommChat pic.twitter.com/OUtlVVd6mB

@akawinegeek (Steve Olson): of course-greetings to Yiannis and Yannis from one who believes it’s a lot easier to pronounce Assyrtiko than Gruner Veltliner…! #SommChat

@elloinos (Markus Stolz): Q @voyatzis @gaiayiannip Santorini Assyrtikos can age graceful, yet Greeks drink them fresh. Do you keep stock of older vintages? #SommChat

@gaiayiannip (Yani Paraskevopoulos): @elloinos A. At Gaia we have just started. We have some from 2009 submerged in the sea. #SommChat

@GeorgiouVas (Vasilis Georgiou): @elloinos @voyatzis @gaiayiannip #SommChat we have tasted some great older vintages of santorini as old as 1989

@marycressler (Mary Cressler): @voyatzis Sparkling? Sounds great! How many producers are experimenting with sparkling in Greece? #SommChat

@voyatzis (Yannis Voyatzis): @marycressler A a few are experimenting for years think two at least are ready #SommChat

@winecompass (WineCompass): RT @gaiayiannip: @akawinegeek A. Not grafted! #SommChat -> No need to graft vines means no Phylloxera?

@gaiayiannip (Yani Paraskevopoulos): @winecompass A. This is correct. Because of total absence of clay Santorini is a Phylloxera free & safe environment. #SommChat

@KeeperColl (Keeper Collection): Q. @gaiayiannip How do the #wines of #Santorini compare & contrast w/ similar wines coming out of other Greek wine regions? #SommChat #WW

@gaiayiannip (Yani Paraskevopoulos): @KeeperColl A. Assyrtiko from other parts of Greece are far less steely and more aromatic (fruity). #SommChat

@enjoielife (Judia Black): @AdamPlotkin #Moschofilero is really fresh and fun summer sipper! #SommChat

@KeeperColl (Keeper Collection): Q. @voyatzis How does Vin Santo fit into the mix? What percentage of wine does it account for, and is that growing? #SommChat #WW

@voyatzis (Yannis Voyatzis): @KeeperColl A it is produced by sundrying the grapes under the Aegean sun, tradition coming from antiquity #SommChat

@ormiga (ormiga): .@marycressler @voyatzis @KeeperColl &how produce lower alcohol % #wine from same yr’s batch (add (sea) #water? #SommChat

@KeeperColl (Keeper Collection): only a few minutes for any last questions at #SommChat

@enjoielife (Judia Black): @AdamPlotkin Good Assyrtiko is a little more serious and stands up to food #SommChat

@alawine (Ken Alawine Waggoner): @voyatzis > @MauricesCru we see a great future for some reds too but Santorini whites are in front at the moment #SommChat < TY good to know

@teuwenoneimage (Teuwen One Image): @gaiayiannip Q-u’ve submerged 500 bottles of Assyrtiko. Do u believe it’s a great cellar? #SommChat @Santoriniwines @atheneewines

@gaiayiannip (Yani Paraskevopoulos): @teuwenoneimage A. Time will tell…? , but temperature is good down there and there is absolutely no oxygen uptake…so we’ll see… #SommChat

@KeeperColl (Keeper Collection): Q. @voyatzis What is the Santorini Vinsanto profile compared to that of other regions in the world where it’s produced? #SommChat #WW

@voyatzis (Yannis Voyatzis): A. @KeeperColl A great ballance sugar / acidity (ph 2,8 – 2,9) #SommChat

@akawinegeek (Steve Olson): think climate: heat, wind, lack of rain, sea; add: ancient volcanic soils; add: old, ungrafted vines, low yields, local yeasts #SommChat

@gaiayiannip (Yani Paraskevopoulos): @akawinegeek A. Add also some see spray… #SommChat
