Say wine in Greek…
The popular Assyrtiko is one of the top wines in Greece. It is produced all across the archipelago, but the most impressive region is its place of origin, the island of Santorini. It is a lean white wine with passion fruit, flint, and lemon flavors, subtle bitterness throughout the palate. Assyrtiko wines labeled as Nykteri (“nith-terry”) are always oaked and offer more lemon pineapple, fennel, cream, and baked pie crust notes.
A heavenly blend, indeed.
