Description
Domaine Papagiannakos Assyrtiko is a crisp, characterful white from the sun-drenched Attic peninsula — just 30km from Athens, where limestone soils and the cooling influence of the Aegean Sea produce a wine of bright citrus fruit, chalky minerality, and bracing freshness. Assyrtiko is Greece's most celebrated white grape, and this is a textbook example of what it can do outside of Santorini.
Why You'll Love It
Founded in 1919, Domaine Papagiannakos has spent over a century mastering the unique terroir of the Mesogaia plain in Attica. Their approach combines traditional Greek varieties with modern, precise winemaking — and the results speak for themselves. Unoaked, lees-aged for texture, and matured in bottle for up to a year before release, this is a wine of genuine depth and ageing potential that still drinks beautifully young. A brilliant introduction to Greek white wine.
Vineyard & Production
Produced from 100% Assyrtiko grown on unirrigated limestone soils at around 100 metres altitude in north-east Attica. Grapes are harvested at the end of August and fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperatures (16–18°C), with a short period on fine lees to add texture. No oak is used, preserving the wine's natural freshness and varietal purity. Matured in bottle for up to a year before release.
Tasting Notes
Floral aromas of citrus blossom, mandarin, and lime on the nose. The palate is zesty and textured — crisp citrus fruit layered with chalky minerality and a hint of salinity, giving freshness, balance, and a lively, lingering finish.
Perfect Pairings
A natural partner for seafood and Mediterranean dishes. Excellent with griddled swordfish, grilled prawns, seafood pasta, and roast belly pork. Also superb on its own as a refreshing aperitif.
