Assyrtiko is arguably Greece's most iconic wine grape variety, and whilst it is most well-known on the island of Santorini, here is a wonderful example from Northwestern Greece. The vineyard lies at an altitude of 700 meters above sea level within the viticultural zone of Agios Panteleimon, in the Amyndeon Appellation.
Despite the cold winters and warm summers here, the four neighbouring lakes contribute to the creation of a mild continental climate that makes this the perfect spot for these vines. The soil here is also sandy and poor, which is actually perfect for the production of quality wines.
As its label suggests, our ASSYRTIKO is produced from selected vine parcels located in The North of Greece, at the village of Agios Panteleimonas in Florina, at the unique plateau of Amyndeon. High altitudes between 600 - 700 meters and poor sandy soils on a stunning terrain of raw mountainous beauty.
The four neighboring lakes act as a moderating influence of surrounding temperatures all year round, contributing to the continental-ish climate with cold winters and mild summers.
