Of the '24: “The Papagiannakos 2024 Assyrtiko delivers bright citrus aromas and crushed limestone with hints of lemon custard and almond paste. Fresh and accessible from the outset, it offers the vibrant acidity and mineral backbone that define the variety while remaining more fruit-forward and approachable than many of its island counterparts. There is plenty of freshness and structure here, with enough mid-palate substance to carry the wine through a crisp, energetic finish. At a fraction of the price of many Santorini bottlings, this is a terrific value and a convincing reminder of Assyrtiko's potential on the mainland.” 93 Points, Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate
Description
Here’s an electrifying expression of Assyrtiko from the PGI Markopoulo zone outside Athens. Assyrtiko grown here tends to carry a little more stone-fruit flesh than the famously austere wines of Santorini, but this still has all the mouthwatering citrus, stony drive and incisive herbal character you’d hope for from the variety.
The fruit comes from low-yielding, 50-year-old vines. Fermentation and ageing take place on lees in stainless steel, while a little pre-fermentation skin contact adds texture, chew and bite.

ABOUT THIS BRAND
Papagiannakos
Founded in 1919, Domaine Papagiannakos is 30 km from Athens in the region of Attica. The family-owned vineyards are planted mostly with the Savatiano grape variety. According to the producer, ‘the landscape and terroir of the Attican vineyards, the climate (mild winters and hot dry summers assisted by the sea breeze) create the ideal terroir for Savatiano’. The variety is much maligned due to the excessive doses of resin used to improve poor quality Saviatiano in the past and yet it is capable of producing some very interesting wine and even a good Retsina, as Domaine Papagiannakos has proved, even to a sceptic like me.
