Assyrtiko, originating from the volcanic soils of Santorini, thrives here in the Peloponnese, yielding a wine that feels both ancient and utterly present. Historoots' expression of this noble Greek grape sings with a vibrant, saline minerality, a direct echo of its island heritage. Expect a brisk, almost electric acidity that awakens the palate, hinting at sun-kissed citrus and the bracing sea air.

Tasting Notes

  • Aroma: Zesty lemon peel, saline minerality, and a hint of white peach.
  • Palate: Racy acidity with notes of grapefruit, sea spray, and a subtle stony character.
  • Finish: Dry, medium-bodied with a lingering minerality and a clean, zesty finish.

Perfect Food Pairings

This versatile Assyrtiko pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes:

  • Seafood: Oysters on the half shell, grilled branzino, or calamari.
  • Mains: Greek salad with feta, lemon herb roasted chicken, or vegetable skewers.
  • Social: Apero with olives and feta, or light white bean dips.
