This wine is a classic benchmark of the variety and its homeland. A vibrant aromatic cocktail of sea-breeze freshness and citrus fruits, peach with honeyed undertones. Bone-dry, brightly acidic with a textural mineral smokiness and a food-begging finish.

In a thick glass bottle, the Santo Wines 2023 Santorini Assyrtiko is very mineral in character with crushed oyster shell and ashy volcanic soil. The wine is quite solid and firm in terms of mouthfeel, and those mineral tones do create a sharp through line. In terms of fruit, there is discreet neutral honeydew melon, quince or pear. You get high quality from this cooperative winery with access to fruit from all over Santorini.
