Description

Bright white with golden highlights, this richly textured Assyrtiko shows flinty, earthy aromas layered with lemon blossom, citrus, apricot and green apple, alongside subtle sweet spice from four months’ ageing in French and American oak. The palate is full and slightly oily, with vibrant acidity supporting a complex, structured and distinctly gastronomic style, finishing with a gentle touch of oak. Serve at 10–12°C with fatty fish, seafood and shellfish, sushi, truffle dishes or mature cheeses.

Central Greece

Central Greece, a region known for its diverse landscapes and rich history, also boasts a notable winemaking tradition. The varied climate and soils, including both fertile plains and rugged highlands, provide ideal conditions for viticulture. It is renowned for its high-quality wines from indigenous grape varieties. In the area of Thessalia, you'll find rich reds from the Xinomavro grape, offering complex flavours and excellent ageing potential. The region also produces crisp whites from the Savatiano grape, known for its fresh, fruity profile and versatility. Additionally, Central Greece includes the area of Euboea, which is known for its well-structured reds and aromatic whites. With a blend of traditional and modern winemaking techniques, Central Greece offers a diverse and engaging wine experience, reflecting the region's unique terroirs and rich viticultural heritage.
