The wine region of Santorini
Mythical volcanic PDO of the Cyclades (Greece): signature Assyrtiko as king white (>=85%, complemented by Aidani and Athiri) — pale robe and signature direct mineral-saline profile mirroring the volcanic terroir — lively notes of citrus, lemon, grapefruit, white fruits and an iodine touch, sharp acidity at low pH and chiselled structure. Centenary vines in kouloura (basket shielding from wind), phylloxera-free island, intense sun, violent wind, minimal rain.
The word of the wine: Olfaction
