Vinification
Assyrtiko is Artemis’ strength, possessing exceptional expertise in managing the variety. It is cultivated at an altitude of 650–700 meters in the regions of Xino Nero and Agios Panteleimonas. The cool, mountainous climate preserves its acidity, keeping it vibrant and crisp. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, while a small portion is aged in barrel, subtly adding depth and
complexity. With only 4.000 bottles produced, Arktos Assyrtiko offers a distinct expression of the variety, ideal for those looking to explore beyond Santorini.
Tasting & pairing Notes
Bright and vibrant on the nose, bursting with citrus notes like lemon, lime, and grapefruit, complemented by white peach, crisp green apple, and delicate lemon blossoms. Underneath, a touch of flinty minerality and gentle toasty undertones add depth and finesse. Pair it with shellfish, grilled or fried fish. Best served at 9-12°C.
