Origin

Santorini Nikteri is produced on the island of Santorini, Greece, a volcanic island in the Aegean Sea known for its unique terroir and traditional viticulture.

Variety

The wine is made primarily from the indigenous Assyrtiko grape variety, often blended with small amounts of Athiri and Aidani grapes.

Production

The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo controlled fermentation at low temperatures to preserve freshness and aromatic complexity. The wine is aged on its lees for several months to enhance texture and depth before bottling.

Tasting notes

  • Appearance: Pale straw yellow with greenish hues.
  • Aroma: Intense citrus and mineral notes with hints of white flowers and herbs.
  • Palate: Crisp and refreshing acidity balanced with a rich texture, flavors of lemon, green apple, and flint minerality.
  • Finish: Long, clean, and slightly saline finish reflecting the volcanic soil.

Food pairings

  • Fresh seafood such as grilled octopus, calamari, or shrimp.
  • Light salads with citrus or vinaigrette dressings.
  • White meats like chicken or turkey prepared with herbs.
  • Soft cheeses such as feta or goat cheese.
  • Greek traditional dishes including fava and tomato keftedes.
