Why You'll Love It

Assyrtiko is one of the world's great white grapes, prized for its combination of vibrant acidity, savoury salinity, and aromatic precision. While most associated with Santorini, the variety thrives equally in the cool highland vineyards of the Peloponnese, where altitude tempers warmth and produces wines of real finesse. Godessa is an accessible, beautifully crafted introduction to the style, with no oak influence and a clean, fruit-forward profile that makes it endlessly versatile at the table.

Vineyard & Production

The vineyards are situated in the highlands of the Peloponnese, benefiting from a cool Mediterranean climate where altitude preserves natural freshness and acidity. Sandy soils over limestone provide excellent drainage and contribute to the wine's characteristic minerality and precision. Fermentation takes place over two weeks in stainless steel tanks to preserve aromatic purity, followed by a minimum of three months on fine lees to build texture and subtle complexity. No oak influence.
