Information

Assyrtiko is a renowned white grape variety from Greece, with a significant presence on the island of Crete. Crete’s warm climate and diverse soils give Assyrtiko wines distinct flavors. These wines have a bright, pale yellow color with hints of green, offering a crisp taste with flavors of lemon, grapefruit, green apple, and a touch of peach. The high acidity and subtle mineral notes reflect the island's unique terroir. Assyrtiko from Crete pairs excellently with seafood, salads, and light pasta dishes.
