Paterianakis Assyrtiko 2020

Paterianakis Assyrtiko is praised for its floral and honey aromas, citrus and apple notes, and refreshing mineral finish. While some appreciate its vibrant acidity and versatility with food, others find it merely crisp and bright. The wine is noted for its medium body and elegance, with a preference for immediate consumption. It offers a sophisticated drinking experience with a balance of minerality and fruit.

This Assyrtiko from Paterianakis showcases the quintessential characteristics of the varietal with a crystalline, pale straw hue. The nose unfolds with a precise bouquet of lemon zest, white peach, and a hint of saline minerality, evoking the maritime influence of its Cretan terroir. On the palate, it delivers a vibrant, linear acidity that cuts through the rich texture, revealing layers of green apple and subtle almond. The finish is long and mineral-driven, with a whisper of flint and a touch of sea spray. This wine stands as a benchmark for modern Greek whites, offering both elegance and depth.
