Origin

Nostos Assyrtiko is produced in Greece, primarily from vineyards located on the island of Santorini, known for its volcanic soil and unique microclimate that contribute to the distinctive character of the wine.

Variety

The wine is made exclusively from the Assyrtiko grape variety, a native Greek white grape renowned for its high acidity and mineral-driven profile.

Production

The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo controlled fermentation at low temperatures to preserve freshness and aromatic intensity. The wine is typically aged in stainless steel tanks to maintain its crispness and purity of fruit expression without oak influence.

Tasting notes

Food pairings

  • Light salads with citrus-based dressings.
  • White meats like roasted chicken or turkey.
