Alexakis Assyrtiko — Crete, Greece 2025

Alexakis is one of Crete's most respected family wineries, farming indigenous Greek varieties on the sun-drenched soils of the island with a commitment to expressing the unique character of Cretan terroir. Their Assyrtiko — crafted from one of Greece's most celebrated white grapes, best known from Santorini but equally at home on Crete — is a wine of striking freshness, mineral precision, and Mediterranean soul. Bright, aromatic, and endlessly food-friendly, it is the kind of bottle that transports you to a seaside taverna with every sip.

Bright yellow with green hues, the nose is expressive and inviting: passionfruit, mango, and fresh citrus with a characteristic saline minerality that speaks to the island's volcanic and limestone soils. On the palate, it is crisp and balanced with lively acidity, a clean mineral backbone, and a long, lasting finish. Refreshing, precise, and unmistakably Greek.

Skouras Moscofilero — Peloponnese, Greece 2024

Domaine Skouras is one of the Peloponnese's most respected estates, founded by George Skouras in the 1980s and widely credited with helping to modernize Greek winemaking. Their Moscofilero is a benchmark expression of this extraordinary indigenous grape — grown at high altitude in the Mantinia plateau of the Peloponnese, where cool temperatures preserve the variety's signature floral intensity and natural acidity. Fermented in stainless steel with short skin contact, no malolactic fermentation, and brief aging on fine lees, it is crafted to showcase the grape's pure, aromatic character without interference.

The nose is immediately captivating: white flowers, honeysuckle, violet, and rose petals with a delicate freshness that is entirely its own. On the palate, it is soft and crisp with intense aromatic flavors that mirror the nose, lively acidity, and a clean, refreshing finish. One of Greece's most distinctive and food-friendly whites — and one of the world's great aromatic varieties.

Domaine Zafeirakis Limniona Rosé Organic — Thessalia, Greece 2025 750ml

Christos Zafeirakis is one of Greece’s most important young winemakers — and the man single-handedly credited with reviving Limniona, an ancient indigenous variety that had nearly vanished from the world’s wine map. The fourth generation of his family to farm in Tyrnavos, in the PGI Tyrnavos zone of Thessaly in Central Greece, Christos returned home after studies and stages in Italy to plant his first organic vineyard in 2005. What followed was a quiet revolution: world-class, elegant wines from forgotten Greek grapes, made with love, knowledge, and deep respect for tradition. His Limniona Rosé is the most accessible expression of that mission — and one of the most original rosés in the world.

Soft salmon in color with brilliant clarity. The nose is expressive and aromatic: cranberry, wild strawberry, red fruit, delicate florals, caramel, and a whisper of Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, lively acidity is beautifully balanced by the intensity of fruit, with an unexpected freshness and a subtle, appetizing bitterness that gives the wine an extra dimension. The finish is long, clean, and distinctly Greek.

Domaine Sigalas MM I — Mavrotragano & Mandilaria, Cyclades 2022

Domaine Sigalas is the most celebrated winery on Santorini — and one of the most important estates in all of Greece. Founded by Paris Sigalas, a mathematician turned winemaker, the domaine has spent decades proving that Santorini is not just a white wine island. The MM I is their flagship red: a 50/50 blend of Mavrotragano and Mandilaria, two of the Aegean's most ancient and distinctive indigenous red varieties, cultivated on the volcanic soils of Santorini and the Cyclades. Aged for one year in large oak casks, it is a wine of genuine character — punchy, food-driven, and unlike anything else in the world of Greek wine.

Deep crimson in the glass with a refreshing, aromatic nose of red fruit, cherry, and a finely blended bouquet of spice and earth. On the palate, it is vibrant and food-friendly with flavors of cherry, cassis, grilled watermelon, and apple cider, framed by firm, bitter tannins and lively acidity. Best served slightly cooler than a typical red to maximize its freshness and accessibility. A wine built for the table — especially cheese-heavy dishes.

Wine Advocate 91 Points — "Punchy flavors of cherry, cassis, grilled watermelon and apple cider. The tannins are bitter, and it might help to serve this wine one or two degrees cooler than normal to make it more accessible. It is inherently food-friendly, especially with cheese-heavy dishes like lasagna or pizza." (Vintage 2022).

Producer Notes

Skouras is one of Greece’s most celebrated modern wineries, based in Nemea in the Peloponnese — the heartland of Aghiorghitiko (Saint George), Greece’s most noble red grape variety. The Saint George is their benchmark expression of the appellation: bright morello cherry-red in color with aromas of blackberries, raspberries, and ripe strawberries, touched by tobacco, clove, and cinnamon. Medium-bodied with elegant structure, balanced acidity, and very ripe, elegant tannins. The finish is moderately long, dominated by red fruits and followed by sweet vanilla and black pepper.

Food Pairings

• Grilled lamb chops or slow-roasted lamb
• Moussaka or beef stifado

Winemaker Description

Rare aromatic complexity with intense tannin structure and robust acidity.

Winemaker Description 

Liatiko variety gives us delicate and light wines with ruby colour. We suggest you try it in a burgundy shape glass that perfectly unfolds its aromas. It has concentrated aromas of fresh red fruits, herbs and light floral aromas.

As it ages, develops a unique bouquet of ripe fruits, leather and spices. It has light body, good acidity, soft and delicious tannins and long aftertaste, traits that portrait it as a very elegant wine.

The Douloufakis "Dafnios" Liatiko 2021 is a standout example of Crete's indigenous red grape, Liatiko. Produced in the village of Dafnés by Nikolas Douloufakis, this wine is often compared to Pinot Noir or Nebbiolo due to its lighter color and elegant, aromatic profile.
