Hala says
A modern Santorinian winery in a former tomato-canning factory on the black sand of Exo Gonia: founded 1994 by Yiannis Paraskevopoulos and Leon Karatsalos (who also run a separate Nemea producer on the mainland). The Thalassitis Submerged Assyrtiko is the conversation piece: bottles aged for five years in cages on the sea floor at 25 m depth, then surfaced. The standard tasting (€20) is excellent; the submerged-wine experience runs around €100 and is worth doing once.
