Description
Need a shake-up from your tried-and-true Sauvignon Blanc? Look no further than its more adventurous Mediterranean cousin - Assyrtiko. Alexakis is one of Crete's pioneering family wineries, with high-elevation vineyards overlooking the Aegean. Sourced from old vine vineyards in Heraklion, this is fermented and aged sur lie in stainless steel, preserving freshness while adding texture. Bright citrus, green apple, and subtle tropical fruit are layered over classic Assyrtiko notes of flint, salinity, and mineral tension. We're not saying you *need* to put that Sancerre down... but...maybe?
