Ecosystems
2.5 ha Assyrtiko were planted 25+ years ago from Mylonas family. The Assyrtiko found a great land to express itself beyond Santorini. The Mediterranean climate along with the rich in minerals and limestone soil provides a great background for the expression of this unique variety.

Bright lemon color with green highlights. Complex aromatic palette where the mineral aromatic elements coexist with the aromas of citrus fruits (lemon and lime) and spring white flowers. Rich tasting volume with lively acidity, interspersed with aromas of citrus fruits and herbs with strong mineral elements. Fine wine with a long persistent aftertaste.
