Hermes
Dry White Assyrtiko
Hermes ā Assyrtiko 2024
Peloponnese PGI ā Greece š¬š·
Overview
A 100% Assyrtiko from the Peloponnese, showcasing a more textural and savory expression of the grape outside Santorini. The 2024 vintage leans into tension, structure, and food-driven character, with noticeable intensity and length.
Aromas & Flavors
Citrus-driven with lemon zest and subtle stone fruit, layered with mineral and lightly savory notes. Expressive, with a more pronounced intensity than expected.
Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with firm acidity and strong tension. Textural, slightly weightier on the palate, with a long, persistent finish and a clean, dry profile.
Food Pairings
Built for food, perfect with grilled fish, shellfish, Mediterranean dishes, or anything with olive oil, herbs, and citrus. Also holds up well to richer white meat dishes.
Verdict
A serious, food-friendly Assyrtiko with structure and personality. Not a light, easy sipper, but rewarding for those who enjoy tension, minerality, and a more savory edge.
š· Did You Know?
Assyrtiko is one of the few white grapes that can retain high acidity even in warm climates, which is why it thrives across Greece while maintaining its signature freshness.
