Product Notes

Akrathos Assyrtiko wine, a Grecian delight hailing from Halkidiki, seduces connoisseurs with its distinctive minerality and impressive acidity. This aromatic white wine boasts vibrant citrus and tropical notes, reminiscent of the Mediterranean coast. The palate is elevated by crisp hints of green apple, pear and a whisper of flint, artfully balanced by a refreshing finish. The traditional Assyrtiko grape, cultivated in mineral-rich volcanic soils, lends this wine its unique character. Ideal alongside seafood or on its own, Akrathos Assyrtiko is the epitome of elegance, making it the perfect accompaniment to any celebration or fine dining experience.

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.
