GRAPE VARIETIES OF SANTORINI - ASSYRTICO


Assyrtico is the island's main grape variety as it represents about 80% of grape production. It's a multidynamic variety with excellent adaptability to the different bioclimatic conditions. That is why its cultivation has been spread almost all over Greece... The assyrtico variety within Santorini's ecosystem acquires a unique expression, procucing wines with metallic character,excuberant body and high alcohol level, while at the same time they retain high acidity & freshness...



ARGYROS ESTATE since 1903 is maybe the best Assyrtico producer on the island and one of the TOP 100 wineries in the world, according to
WINE & SPIRITS MAGAZINE / USA 2006
