2023 Domaine Papagiannakos Assyrtiko, Attica, Greece

OVERVIEW

A white wine made from the Assyrtiko grape, indigenous to Greece, which is known for its freshness, vibrant acidity, and distinctive minerality.

FOOD PAIRING INSPIRATION

Assyrtiko pairs wonderfully with fresh seafood, including oysters, clams, grilled octopus, and prawns. Its bracing acidity and mineral notes enhance the briny flavours of shellfish. Try it with grilled white fish like sea bass, sole, or snapper drizzled with olive oil and lemon. And of course pairs wonderfully with Greek dishes.
