Santo Santorini Assyrtiko

Santo Santorini Assyrtiko is a striking representation of Greece’s renowned volcanic terroir. Produced by Santowines, a respected cooperative dedicated to preserving Santorini’s winemaking heritage, this exceptional white wine showcases the influence of the island’s unique volcanic soils and the cooling breezes of the Aegean Sea. Assyrtiko, the flagship grape of Santorini, thrives in these challenging conditions, resulting in a wine of remarkable purity, vibrant acidity, and unmistakable minerality.

With each sip, this captures the essence of its breath-taking island origin. Offering a crisp and refreshing drinking experience.

• Crisp and invigorating, Santo Santorini Assyrtiko delivers a refreshing acidity that defines the character of this iconic Greek varietal.
• Bright citrus notes of lemon zest and grapefruit burst on the palate, providing a lively and mouth-watering sensation.
• Green apple and subtle pear undertones add layers of freshness, balancing the wine’s racy acidity.
• Intense minerality, shaped by Santorini’s volcanic soils, imparts a distinctive saline and flinty complexity that lingers on the finish.
• A refined, structured body with a long, clean aftertaste, showcasing the wine’s elegance and depth.

Santo Santorini Assyrtiko is a natural companion to Mediterranean cuisine, particularly seafood and light, citrus-infused dishes. Its bracing acidity and mineral complexity pair beautifully with fresh oysters, grilled octopus, or prawns drizzled with lemon.

The wine’s crisp structure also complements feta-based salads, sushi, and delicate white fish such as sea bass or cod. For a classic Greek pairing, enjoy it alongside a traditional dish of grilled lamb with lemon and herbs.

Whether served with simple mezze or an elegant seafood feast, this Assyrtiko enhances every bite with its vibrant freshness and depth.
