Description
Assyrtiko is now the most famous wine grape of Greece. Volcanic soils in this part of Thrace match the mineral, saline profile of Santorini, but the use of neutral barrels adds weight to the mouthfeel that is uncommon (though still traditional) on Santorini. Classic Assyrtiko flavors of lemon and preserved lemon curd, ginger and sea spray, with an added hint of fresh coconut and fennel. Unusual for a white, this wine really benefits from decanting. Serve with Mediterranean-style grilled skewers.
