Thira

2015 Greece Assyrtiko

Kalliste Thira, a delightful expression of the Assyrtiko varietal, hails from the picturesque landscapes of Greece, specifically the volcanic terroir of Santorini. This 2015 vintage showcases a remarkable balance, exuding a medium-bodied profile that envelops the palate with its vibrant character. The acidity is pronounced, providing a refreshing crispness that dances harmoniously with the flavors. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing notes of zesty citrus and tropical fruit, intricately woven together with subtle hints of minerality that reflect the unique volcanic soils. The wine is beautifully dry, making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate a wine that complements a variety of dishes. Kalliste Thira is a true testament to the elegance and versatility of Greek wine, inviting you to savor its rich heritage with every sip.

Greece

One of the most historic wine-producing countries, Greece is a cradle of modern wine culture. While today its wines do not enjoy the same reputation as some of its other European neighbors, Greece and its unique indigenous grape varieties are enjoying a Renaissance. White wine drinkers will love the floral Debina and peachy Malagousia from the cooler, wetter north of the country. Or head down to the sun-kissed Aegean islands for spellbinding Assyrtiko, with flavors ranging from passionfruit and mineral to oak and pineapple. For red wine lovers, southern Greece grows the herbaceous Agiorgitiko, while the sublime Xinomavro of the north—often referred to as "Greece's Barolo"—offers dark cherry and licorice notes.
