Assyrtiko 'The North'

Assyrtiko The North KirYianni

100% Assyrtiko from a vineyard at 700m altitude in the Agios Panteleimon district of Amyndeon. The poor, sandy soil results in low yields of exquisitely high-quality and aromatically rich grapes. Fermented in tank and aged in tank on the fine lees for 4-5 months before bottling.

"Quite aromatic for Assyrtiko, with green fruits and a peachy stone-fruit quality. Nicely dry on the palate, almost chalky, with plenty of fruit. More fruity than Santorini Assyrtiko but still with the variety's tension and freshness. (JH)"

"Closed with a screw cap, the 2023 Assyrtiko The North High Altitude Wine shows fresh lines and crisp citrusy flavors. Beyond those hints of lemon peel and sweet peach are pretty mineral notes that recall crushed oyster shell. I love the mineral brightness of this easy-drinking white. To the palate, this cool-climate Assyrtiko shows a sharp and linear entry."
