Assyrtiko

🇬🇷

Greece

“Ah-seer-tee-ko” The champion white of Greece originated on the volcanic island of Santorini. Wines are bone-dry and lean with subtle saltiness. Assyrtiko labeled as Nykteri (“nith-terry”) are always oaked and offer more lemon brûlée, pineapple, fennel, cream, and baked pie crust notes.
