Hetero Wines, created by Maria Tamiolaki and Dimitris Mansolas, describes its effort as ‘Gypsy Winemaking’, ie it produces wines in different regions of Greece that have been selected for their uniqueness and wine value. Here we have an amazing Assyrtiko from vineyards that are organically grown in Domokos, which ferments with the native yeasts, remains for 5 months with its fine lees as 50% of the wine enters oak barrels of second use. It very nicely combines the austerity of the variety with its friendliest characteristics when grown outside Santorini.

Assyrtiko is the white variety that tends to become the "flagship" of greek wine abroad. At the same time, fans of the variety in Greece are increasing, as it highlights in the best possible way the culinary richness of our sea and island cuisine. Thalassitis, one of the leading labels of Santorini's Assyrtiko, which bears the signature of John Paraskevopoulos and GAIAS Winery has a loyal audience that appreciates the perfect expression of Assyrtiko's power and dynamics.

This Asyrtiko is vinified only with the wild yeasts of the grapes (hence the term "Wild Ferment" on the bottle), to capture the authenticity and formality of Santorini PDO to a 100%. A fine Santorini of limited production that Assyrtiko fans should definitely try.

Shocking 'orange' wine from the Gaia winery, which praises both the style of orange wines and the magical terroir of Santorini. With Assyrtiko that comes from old autochthonous vineyards and matures for 4 years in clay spherical containers is undoubtedly one of the best Greek wines of this style.

The Gaia Nychteri takes our favorite Santorini Assyrtiko to a whole new level. The salty, zesty aromatic character of the variety and the sharp acidity are dressed by a spicy soft veil from the oak ageing. Each bottle begs for special grilled seafood delicacies to make the perfect scene.

Its color is light gold with several green highlights. Its aroma is complex, with citrus like lemon and grapefruit and mineral elements dominating followed by peach and almond notes. In the mouth it is rich with the characteristic crisp acidity creating waves of freshness, appreciable saltiness, some honeyed touches make their appearance, while the aftertaste has an incredible duration. Undoubtedly a 'big' white wine that has the structure to evolve for at least a decade.

Santorini Familia Hatzidakis, with its lemony, mineral, yet friendly character, faithfully captures the inexhaustible dynamic of the Santorini Terroir, which is why it is one of the most beloved labels produced on the island. If you try it with your eyes closed, you are very likely to feel the saltiness of the Aegean and the wild beauty of the windswept vines of beautiful Santorini. Even the most 'simple' label of Hatzidakis winery, made from 100% Assyrtiko, is a great wine that can age for many years.

It is everything its name says: 100% Crispy Assyrtiko Old Bush Vines Wild Fermented. The Mouson Estate manages to give to this mainland Assyrtiko, island nerve and northern Greece spirt. Rich and playful, well-crafted and mind-blowing, it will become one of the best value selections of the variety.

A Single vineyard Chardonnay from the brand new Navitas winery of Maria Dimitriadis, located in Litochoro overlooking the 52 peaks of Olympus. A wonderful expression of the variety with crunchy acidity and intense character of citrus that brings to mind great wines from the cold Chablis. It is a certified vegan wine.

The new generation of the Hatzidakis winery does not stop its creation path by introducing a special single vineyard Santorini from 100% Assyrtiko that matures on its part with fine wine lees for 12 months while 30% rests in French oak barrels. Ariadni Hatzidaki designs the label while there are only 1700 bottles.

Haridimos Hatzidakis intervenes as little as possible in this wine of very small production, trying to capture as clearly as possible what the land of Santorini can offer. Organically grown grapes, indigenous yeasts, minimal intervention philosophy in the winery and a wonderful expression of the uniqueness of the island's terroir.
