Santorini Assyrtiko

Santo Wines is Santorini’s largest producer and only cooperative winery, representing the island’s more than 1,200 grape farmers. The nose on the 2023 Santo Wines Assyrtiko opens with citrus pith, mandarin, crushed stone, and fresh sea breezes. The crisp, mineral palate showcases the island’s volcanic terroir, finishing long with tart citrus, gunflint, and a dash of white pepper. 90 Pam Roberto

From a prominent cooperative winery on sunny Santorini comes this inviting, zippy wine with bright lemon rind and floral aromas. It was vinified in stainless steel and sat for 14 months on its lees, giving the palate ripe, juicy tropical fruit flavors balanced by a flinty backbone. Pair it with salads, seafood and any and all grilled proteins.
