Hatzidakis Assyrtiko 2008 Santorini, Greece

Award Winner Bin Number: 038545
Up to 2 cases / 31 bottles in stock

Fruity, light and fresh Greek white.

A beautifully fresh, floral and mineral white, produced from old vines grown on the windswept slopes of the island of Santorini. The wine is made from a blend of rare grape varieties: principally Assyrtiko, with a small percentage of Aidani and Athiri mixed in. The volcanic vineyard soils have given the wine a pristine and spicy palate, with fantastic acidity. Very versatile with food, happily matching delicate seafood, spicy dishes or roast pork. Exclusive to Waitrose.

In the press:

“Here’s a wonderfully crisp, minerally white from the Greek island of Santorini. Made organically, it’s pleasingly precise, with good acidity,”
Jamie Goode, Sunday Express, 14 June 2009 (2008 vintage)

    "This beautiful Greek island's treasure, the Assyrtiko grape, with 5% each of Athiri and Aidini. Serious, racy, very firm backbone." Jancis Robinson, 'Great Buys - Whites' on www.jancisrobinson.com, 6 December 2009 (2008 vintage)
    Sourced from ancient vines on the beautiful volcanic island of Santorini, this is a spicy, dry, complex and assertively refreshing Greek white. Tim Atkin, The Observer, 27 July 2008
