Santo Wines
Nykteri Assyrtiko Athiri
Santorini, Aegean, Greece
Vintage 2020 | Nykteri is the word for ‘staying up whole night’ in the local language. Santorini vintners harvest in the morning and press the grapes during night. Made of Assyrtiko, Athiri and Aidani grapes. Absolute very mineral. Very compelling wine that matured in barrels for three months. We drank it with shrimps dim sum and it made us happy.

Profoundly complex. Drank over three days and simply kept on deeply giving.

Drank Sunday Memorial Day weekend 2025. Really good asyrtiko. We drank without food, but should be wonderful with food.

Dry, mineral and stone white from one of my favorite places in the Aegean - Santorini. Don’t see a lot of these around, and a nice well balanced white to sip on a lazy Sunday afternoon - perfect! Finishes crisp with a mature but smooth fruit flourish, wanting you to quaff down more!
