Crafted by pioneering winemaker Yiannis Paraskevopoulos, this dry white wine delivers complexity, structure, and a thrilling wild ferment edge – redefining expectations of Assyrtiko from Santorini.
A Volcanic Greek White Wine with Wild Complexity
The 2024 vintage is 100% Assyrtiko, fermented exclusively with wild indigenous yeasts, enhancing the wine’s textural depth and layered profile.

| Winery | The Assyrtiko vineyard is located in Santorini. The terroir is recognised worldwide for its tremendous historical roots, as the vineyards in this area date back 3,000 years. The low-yielding, 80-year-old, self-rooted vines are grown in soils which are poor in organic matter. The high sand content has ensured they have never been affected by phylloxera. The soils are also volcanic: porous with a high mineral content, which imparts the mineral quality to the wine. The long sunshine hours, lack of rainfall, sea mists and strong summer winds all contribute to the unique microclimate. The surrounding Aegean Sea is a "climatic buffer" that softens the climate, reducing extreme conditions. The vines are trained on traditional basket-shaped systems called "kouloura". |
