Crafted exclusively from Assyrtiko grapes grown in the ancient, nearly 80-year-old vineyards of Episkopi, Akrotiri, and Pyrgos—PDO Santorini’s premier terroirs—this wine captures the volcanic soul of the island. The extremely low yields, capped at 25 hl\/ha, intensify the grape’s unique character, producing a wine of exuberance and unmistakable personality.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEnjoy THALASSITIS chilled at 10°C, paired perfectly with seafood, fresh fish, shellfish, or a lemon-infused lamb stew—dishes where salty, briny, or oily flavors take center stage.
