Wine Expert Note:

This wine is a true gem from the Santorini region of Greece. Hatzidakis Santorini Assyrtiko is made from the Assyrtiko grape variety, which is known for producing high-quality white wines with vibrant acidity and distinct mineral notes. On the nose, this wine offers enticing aromas of citrus fruits, such as lemon and grapefruit, along with hints of ripe peach and floral undertones. The palate is crisp and refreshing, with a lively acidity that perfectly balances the fruit flavors. There is a pronounced saline character, which is characteristic of wines from the volcanic soils of Santorini. The Hatzidakis Santorini Assyrtiko is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes. Its acidity and mineral character make it an excellent companion for seafood, particularly grilled fish and shellfish. It also complements Mediterranean cuisine, such as Greek salads, feta cheese, and grilled vegetables. This wine is best enjoyed chilled, allowing its vibrant flavors and refreshing acidity to shine. It can be enjoyed now, but it also has the potential to age gracefully, developing more complexity and depth over time.
