Gaía
Gaía produces wines in Nemea, within the Argolida region of Peloponnesos in Greece. The winery focuses on Assyrtiko, a white grape native to Greece known for its mineral intensity, salinity, and high acidity. Three expressions define the portfolio: Clay Assyrtiko, Ammonite, and Assyrtiko by Gaia Wild Ferment. Each represents a distinct approach to the variety. Decanter has rated these wines, with Clay Assyrtiko and Ammonite achieving particular recognition among prestige critics. The winery's commitment to Assyrtiko reflects both the grape's suitability to the Greek terroir and its capacity to express nuance through different vinification methods—from conventional to wild fermentation. Nemea's continental climate and limestone-rich soils provide the foundation for wines of structure and precision.
