This old winery produces lively and balanced Assyrtiko. Plenty of acidity, saline, and pear notes. I suspect they add a bit of another white variety to round out the mouthfeel.

A traditional Assyrtiko white woman, with interesting mineral notes due to volcanic soil. Refreshing, but needs cheese to balance acidity

Balanced, mineral wine. Beautiful, clean finish, light acidity, not much fruit. Around $20 at D'Vines in Columbia heights.

Surprising little white wine. Served with tortellini with sun dried tomatoes and prosciutto. Very nice.
