Vourvoukeli Assyrtiko 2020

Vourvoukeli Assyrtiko 2023

Prices start from £23.45 per bottle Buying options
Description

Coming from a small family winery in the area of Avdira, in northern Greece, Vourvoukeli Assyrtiko is fresh and elegant. It opens up with an utterly captivating bouquet of fruits and flowers. Distinctive aromas of oranges, lemons, lemon peel and grapefruits are combined with delicate floral and lemongrass notes, as well as hints of almonds.

Very expressive on the palate, Vourvoukeli Assyrtiko has a vibrant acidity balanced by plentiful fruit flavours. These are complimented by a touch of salinity and minerality - typical of a good Assyrtiko. The wine was matured on fine lees for 4 months, obtaining a rich texture and a medium body.

Wine Origins

Greece

Even though Greece is often referred to as an 'emerging' winemaking country, it is actually one of the most ancient wine cultures in the world. Moreover, Greece takes credit for spreading the art of winemaking (and wine drinking!) across the Mediterranean and the Black sea regions. In fact, it was the ancient Greeks who taught the French and the Italians how to make wine. In a word, Greece truly is one of the countries of the Wine Origins!

Vourvoukeli

Vourvoukeli Winery was founded by Nikos and Flora Vourvoukeli in 1999, in the area of Avdira, in northern Greece. Wine has been made in Avdira since ancient times. In the Byzantine era, Avdira, along with the region of Maronia, constituted one of the vineyards of Byzantium and it was here that the celebrated Pamiti wine was produced. From the start, Nikos’ vision was to restore the vineyard of Avdira to its former glory.

Assyrtiko

Assyrtiko is the flagship white grape of Greece. This indigenous variety originates from Santorini, where it grows on dark volcanic soils in extreme weather conditions. Some very old vines of Assyrtiko are found on Santorini. Often, these are ungrafted, growing on their own rootstock. Assyrtiko makes complex white wines with crisp minerality, tremendous freshness and a good ageing potential.
