Assyrtiko
Wine Varieties
While known for its origin of Santorini, the variety Assyrtiko is actually cultivated all throughout Greece. Assyrtiko is known for the acidity and minerality that remind us of Greek summer. Our Assyrtiko is grown at our vineyard Alepotrypa, meaning foxhole. While this may be the current state of the land, our Alepotrypa vineyard many years ago was covered by sea, which explains the perfect salinity of our beautiful Assyrtiko.
