Adored for its crisp style and salty flavour profile, Assyrtiko is a variety of grape that captures the easygoing, free-spirited nature of the Greek archipelago. This blend of Assyrtiko and Athiri is fresh and vibrant, with hints of lemon peel, lilac and pineapple. Serve it tonight alongside grilled octopus and tomato-and-feta salad.

The Estate Argyros 2022 Santorini Assyrtiko Cuvee Monsignori has a busy bouquet with caper leaf, citrus blossom, thyme and wild sage. Those soft herbal notes cede directly to crushed stone and ashy mineral. Sensations of minerality are some- times enhanced in the warm vintages, says Director Dimitris Motsos. This is an exceptional Assyrtiko that is young now and will benefit from more bottle time. Drink date: 2025-2038.
