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%
Pieropan Soave Classico Organic 2025
On an estate that covers 30 hectares, the Pieropan Family have been producing wines since the 1860s. In the early 1930s they were the first to produce a bottle with the name Soave on the label. When Nino Pieropan took over from his father in the 1970s he became the first of the family to produce a single vineyard wine - the Calvarino. The Soave Classico is the youngest and freshest wine in the family's range. It is produced entirely from indigenous varietals that are grown on the hillside vineyard of the Soave Classico region. The 2025 vintage in Soave Classico was shaped by a generally mild and balanced growing season. Winter and spring conditions supported steady vine growth and good water reserves, while a warm but not extreme summer encouraged even ripening of Garganega. Cooler nights helped preserve acidity and aromatic freshness, and vineyards remained in good health throughout the season. Harvest took place under stable conditions, resulting in well-balanced fruit.
