Assyrtiko "Sarakiniko" 2023

The Assyrtiko "Sarakiniko" is produced in Greece, specifically from vineyards located on the island of Santorini. This region is renowned for its volcanic soil and unique microclimate, which contribute to the distinctive character of the wine.

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

The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected to ensure optimal ripeness. The winemaking process includes gentle pressing and fermentation at controlled temperatures to preserve the fresh and vibrant aromas. The wine is aged briefly in stainless steel tanks to maintain its crispness and purity of fruit.

• Appearance: Pale straw yellow with greenish reflections.
• Aroma: Intense citrus and white floral notes with hints of minerality and subtle tropical fruit nuances.
• Palate: Crisp and refreshing acidity balanced with a medium body, delivering flavors of lemon, green apple, and a pronounced mineral finish.
• Finish: Clean, long-lasting, and slightly saline, reflecting the volcanic terroir.

Assyrtiko "Sarakiniko" pairs excellently with a variety of dishes, particularly those emphasizing fresh and light flavors:

• Seafood such as grilled fish, octopus, and shellfish
• Light salads with citrus or herb dressings
• White meats like chicken or turkey with lemon-based sauces
• Greek specialties including feta cheese and tzatziki
• Vegetable dishes and light pasta with olive oil and herbs
