Hermes – Assyrtiko 2025
Peloponnese PGI – Greece 🇬🇷

Overview
A 100% Assyrtiko from the Peloponnese, showcasing a more textural and savory expression of the grape outside Santorini. The 2025 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.

🍷 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. — 2 months ago

This wine is super nice to drink for apéros : it’s light, easy to drink, smells so good! The packaging is stunning! I think it makes a good present of it. Easy to stock in a big fridge and to add more wine already refreshed when necessary because of the package 😊 — 6 years ago

Had the 2024 in February of 2026. Enjoyed this one. Some citrus and floral along with some tropical fruit overtones. Really enjoyed this one and would definitely buy again. — 4 months ago

Light gold color. Melons, minerals, and stone on the nose. Complex on the palate but not my style. Usually love this wine, but maybe this bottle is different. Medium plus depth and finish. — a year ago

50% Grenache blanc, 35% Rolle (vermentino), 15% viognier and no oak! A masterpiece of fruits and personality. — 3 years ago

Popped and poured; consumed over two days and the best was Day 2. The wine appears deep ruby with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity. Medium intensity on the nose with blue and black fruits, deli case, purple flowers, smoked meat, olive brine, black pepper and baking spice. On the pallet, the wine is dry with a mixed fruit set: ripe red, blue and black fruits in abundance with Herbes de Provence and baking spices. Long saline finish, medium+ tannin and acid. The Syrah plays a very strong role despite Grenache being the dominant variety in the blend. — 5 years ago

The clay & limestone soils of Languedoc-Roussilon develop this soft and rich blend of 70% Syrah, 20% Grenache, 8% Mourvèdre, 2% Carignan. The Château Puech-Haut - Tête de Bélier red offers lots of black fruit, minerality with herbs on the finish. A nice surprise! — 6 years ago

A Northern Rhône take on a Southern Rhône blend - less stewed fruit, more floral and herbal and nuance. Lovely. — 5 years ago
