Domaine Gassier Nostre Pais Blanc Organic 2021
'Organically farmed vineyards benefit from a perpetual stewardship that focuses on soil health, biodiversity and the vines’ rich genetic pool. This partnership with nature makes a significant impact on their grapes’ ability to express their terroir, thereby giving wines of freshness, minerality and balance. Michel Gassier and his wife, Tina, produce handcrafted wines that express “the nuances of their soils and the sincerity of their winemaker”. As a winemaker, Michel believes that the less intervention, the more the terroir can express itself. He says it is also a matter of teamwork, a duo that he forms with his wife.'
Papagiannakos Assyrtiko 2024
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. The Blend Assyrtiko 100%
