Inspire Wine

In Santorini, winemaking combines ancient practices with modern innovations to preserve the distinct character of the Assyrtiko grape. The grapes are carefully picked and undergo cool fermentation to enhance their crisp, vibrant flavors and notable minerality. The final wine is a tribute to Santorini’s distinctive climatic and geological environment, providing arefreshing taste reminiscent of the island’s breezy coastline.

Santorini’s viticulture is renowned for its unique “kouloura” technique, where grape vines are trained into low, basket-likeformations to shield them from the island’s strong winds and intense sunlight. The island’s soil, largely composed of volcanic ash, pumice, and sand, enriches the grapes with a mineral quality. Consequently, Santorini boasts some of the oldest grapevines in the world, contributing to the depth and complexity of its wines.

Tasting Santorini’ s Assyrtiko offers an olfactory journey throught its crisp aroma, reminiscent of citrus blossoms mixed with hints of flint and the briny touch of the sea, reflecting its island origins. On the palate, it delivers a robust acidity and structure, leading to a long, dry finish that makes it exceptionally food-friendly, pairing splendidly with the fresh, local seafood and the rich, savory flavors of Mediterranean cuisine.
