Description
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.
