A blend of Santorini's legendary white grape Assyrtiko plus smatterings of little-known local varieties Athiri and Aidani, Argyros' blend is a real showcase for what the famous old vines of Santorini can deliver. Crunchy, with this saline, sea breeze freshness, with these interesting aromatics of white pepper and blossom, and layers of lemon and grapefruit with that trademark bite. It's a wine with crunch, delivered straight from one of the most beautiful Greek islands.

Estate Argyros' history is the history of winemaking on Santorini. The largest vineyard owner with the oldest vines, this venerable, still family-run estate is as much a lifelong passion project as a wine business. On an island where tourism is forever chipping away at vineyard land, the Argyros aim to preserve the ancient 'Koulori' bush vines and indigenous grapes that this stunning Greek island is famous for. It's an institution and a winery worth shouting about (from your white-walled Santorini villa). Unquestionably, Assyrtiko is the king at Argyros, especially when you have vineyards that are 200 years old to work with. With everything farmed organically, and work done by hand or with horse and plough, the timelessness of this property is inescapable. It translates directly into the wines, with the effortless crunch of an Argyros Assyrtiko or the profound flavours of the almost extinct red grape Mavrotragano, a must-try for anyone keen to experience the world's great wines.
