More About This Wine

Assyrtiko

Pronounced "a SEER tee ko". This white varietal is native to Santorini and the other Aegean Islands. Used to make crisp dry wines similar in style to dry Riesling, it is often blended with other varietals - both indigenous and international - such as Sauvignon Blanc. This grape is also used to make the popular Greek dessert wine, Vinsanto.

Aidani

A white grape variety that enjoys particular success on the Greek island of Santorini, Aidani also grows in the Cyclades, Naxos, and Paros. Yielding wines of moderate alcohol content and acidity, the grape offers a richly floral aroma, making it an ideal blending partner for higher-alcohol/higher-acidity grapes, such as Assyrtiko.
