Boutari Assyrtiko (3 Bottle Minimum)

A Journey of Aromas

Variety: 100% Assyrtiko
Vintage: 2023
Region: PGI Macedonia – Protected Geographical Indication

Tasting Note: This wine presents a brilliant, crystal-clear, pale yellow hue. Its discreet yet fresh aroma is dominated by the delicate fragrance of lemon blossoms and flint, harmonizing with fruity notes of apple and pear, rounded off with a subtle touch of oak. On the palate, it’s refreshing and full-bodied, with a crisp acidity that perfectly balances the fruitiness, leading to a long, lingering, and satisfying finish.

Pairing: A versatile companion to both traditional Greek and Asian cuisines, this wine pairs beautifully with grilled fish like sea bream, fresh seafood, shellfish, and select cheese platters.

Winemaking Process: Grapes for this Assyrtiko are meticulously selected from the mountainous vineyards of Macedonia, specifically Florina and Pieria, where the low yields produce exceptional quality. The harvest timing is determined through a combination of berry testing and analytical data, ensuring optimal ripeness. Grapes are harvested early in the day to preserve freshness and are sorted manually for quality. Alcoholic fermentation occurs at controlled temperatures with carefully selected yeast strains, and the wine is aged on its fine lees in the tank until bottling, contributing to its rich complexity.
