Details
This is an intense and powerful Assyrtiko. We love the waxy textual element here, with notes and flavours of orange blossom, marmalade and honey. Rich, luxurious and opulent, but still with that characterful backbone of Assyrtiko acidity. Great wine.

Argyriou Estate, situated in Central Greece, is known for its vineyards and olive groves. With a history rooted in winemaking, the estate produces high-quality wines using indigenous grape varieties cultivated in the region's favourable climate and fertile soil. Visitors can partake in guided tours and wine tastings to learn about the winemaking process from vine to bottle. Additionally, the estate produces extra virgin olive oil using traditional methods, benefitting from the same agricultural conditions that contribute to its renowned wines. Surrounded by picturesque landscapes, Argyriou Estate offers a tranquil escape for guests seeking to explore rural Greece. Whether indulging in wine tasting or simply enjoying the natural beauty of the countryside, a visit to Argyriou Estate provides insight into the agricultural traditions of Central Greece. The wines are typically rich and textural, from honeyed styles of Assyrtiko, to explosively aromatic Malagousia, these are high-quality wines.

Pairing guide
We truly can’t get enough Assyrtiko wines in our lives right now, and this stunning bottle from Argyriou goes some way towards showing why it’s become such a wildly popular wine style recently. It’s a great bottle to crack open alongside a classic Greek salad or any spinach and feta combo, and will also work well with stuffed vine leaves packed with minted rice and olives, grilled mussels and other seafood with a citrus crumb, and heartier fish dishes like red snapper, halibut and buttery turbot with sea vegetables. Creamy pork pasta dishes, mozzarella salads and grilled halloumi are also fantastic options to explore with this wine.
