Production

Produced from 100% Assyrtiko grapes. The vines are grown on unirrigated limestone soil at around 100m altitude, in north-east Attiki. Grapes are typically harvested towards the end of August. The wine undergoes no oak ageing - it's fermented and matured in stainless steel at a controlled temperature (16-18ºC) with some time spent on fine lees. Maturation in bottle for up to a year.

Tasting notes

This Assyritko from Attika, just south of Athens, offers a more approachable window into Greece's signature white grape. Fresh floral aromas of citrus, white blossom, mandarin and lime. Further citrus characters on the palate with texture and a pleasant chalky minerality. A zesty, crisp and characterful white with potential to age.

Food match

Swordfish - straight off the griddle, or roast belly pork.
