Assyrtiko at its finest from Santorini - the Grand Cru Chablis from Greece!
The Cuvée Palatia is a precise and terroir-driven expression of Assyrtiko from the beautiful island of Santorini, showcasing the variety’s natural tension and volcanic character. The nose is vibrant and mineral-led, with aromas of lemon zest, grapefruit, and green apple layered over saline notes, wet stone, and subtle herbal nuances. On the palate, the wine is dry and tightly focused, driven by Assyrtiko’s hallmark acidity and a firm mineral backbone. Flavors of citrus, pear, and crushed oyster shell unfold with clarity and intensity leading towards a refreshing finish.

Terroir
Most of the hard work it takes to produce quality wine happens in the vinyard. The soil, the climatic conditions, the aspect, the bodies of water and many more factors, collectively knwon as "terroir" can influence the flavour of wine and give wine distint minerality, depth and character.
