Product Notes

Akrathos Assyrtiko, originating from the beautiful region of Halkidiki in Greece, is an exquisite white wine that captures the essence of the Mediterranean.

With a pale yellow color and a lively aroma of citrus fruits, white flowers, and a hint of minerality, Akrathos Assyrtiko is a refreshing and elegant wine. On the palate, it unveils flavors of juicy lemon, crisp green apple, and a touch of saline, creating a harmonious balance between acidity and fruitiness. Ideal for seafood pairings or enjoyed on its own, Akrathos Assyrtiko truly represents the distinct character of Halkidiki's vineyards.

Tasting Notes

A crisp and uplifting Assyrtiko, with complex notes of lime, citrus blossom and peach, highlighted by mineral overtones. Generously textured, with lovely balance and a long, lemony finish.
