Godessa Assyrtiko is a precise, mineral-driven white wine from Cavino Winery, a family-owned estate founded in 1958 on the slopes of Aigialia in the Peloponnese. Grown at altitude in the highlands of the Peloponnese, where cool Mediterranean conditions preserve natural freshness and aromatic intensity, it is a compelling expression of one of Greece's most celebrated native varieties.

Why You'll Love It

Assyrtiko is one of the world's great white grapes, prized for its combination of vibrant acidity, savoury salinity, and aromatic precision. While most associated with Santorini, the variety thrives equally in the cool highland vineyards of the Peloponnese, where altitude tempers warmth and produces wines of real finesse. Godessa is an accessible, beautifully crafted introduction to the style, with no oak influence and a clean, fruit-forward profile that makes it endlessly versatile at the table.

Vineyard & Production

The vineyards are situated in the highlands of the Peloponnese, benefiting from a cool Mediterranean climate where altitude preserves natural freshness and acidity. Sandy soils over limestone provide excellent drainage and contribute to the wine's characteristic minerality and precision. Fermentation takes place over two weeks in stainless steel tanks to preserve aromatic purity, followed by a minimum of three months on fine lees to build texture and subtle complexity. No oak influence.

Tasting Notes

The nose opens with vibrant citrus aromas layered with delicate notes of white blossom. On the palate, the wine is well-structured and lively, driven by bright acidity and a distinctive savoury salinity that adds depth and tension. The finish is fresh and fruit-forward, lingering with clarity and balance.

Perfect Pairings

A natural partner for fish, grilled seafood, and white sauce dishes. Also excellent alongside salads, light pasta, grilled vegetables, and soft fresh cheeses. Its saline, mineral character makes it a particularly fine match for oysters and shellfish.
