Alexakis Assyrtiko

  • White
  • 100% Assyrtiko

Vinification & Aging

Thorough inspection and sorting of grapes, destemmed and then transferred into stainless steel tanks. Maceration lasts for about 8 hours. Only free-run juice is cold-settled and fermented in tanks at controlled temperatures.

Ecosystems

High elevation, north west facing steep slopes, and soil composition create a mild, Aegean-island climate. Vines are planted on Sandy Clay soils and see cold winters, hot sunny summers and cool northwesterly winds from the Aegean Sea create great growing conditions.

Tasting Notes

Incredibly refreshing but serious at the same time. It opens beautifully in the glass after a few swirls and add it rewards with flinty and citrus zest notes, accompanied by a smoky character. The lean, super fresh acidity is merged harmoniously with a creamy body showing elegant biscuit undertones.
