Grapes – 90% Assyrtiko, 5% Aidani, 5% Athiri
Production and Maturation – Stainless steel
Tasted –  April 15^th 2014

Lovey aromas of white pepper, grass and citrus. A zingy, fresh taste of grapefruit, lemon citrus with a steely minerality. This dry Santorini Assyrtiko blend had high acidity, good body and a strong finish. A great summer wine to have with simple grilled fish.

Assyrtiko (pronounced Ass – sear – tiko) is known for its highly concentrated and perfumed dry wine which tend to have high acidity and alcohol. Aidani, another grape that grows well on Santorini, it is floral-scented and generally used for blending. Athiri is a grape for the table, or used in wine where it is usually blended with Assyrtiko.
