In the past 25 years, the cultivation of Assyrtiko has extended from its origin in Santorini to the Greek mainland and Crete. This grape variety is renowned for its resistance to hot, dry conditions, making Crete a perfect growing environment.
Tasting Note: An elegant white, with a crispness that reflects the invigorating sea breezes. Perfect for seafood, especially oysters, think of it as a Greek twist on Muscadet or Chablis. The citrus aromas, hints of thyme and oregano, and refreshing acidity make for a sensory delight. A three-month aging on the lees adds depth and a complex texture, culminating in a persistent mineral finish.
