Economou Assyrtiko

68,20 €

Wines like Yiannis Oikonomou’s Assyrtiko 2016 redefine the very notion of complexity in white wines. In fact, few wines out there possess the intensity, power, structure, and length of this particular one. The deliberate oxidation on the nose is fantastic — crafted with a mastery reminiscent of the finest wines from the Jura. A captivating interplay of aromas unfolds across a spectrum of dried fruits and nuts, while on the palate, the vibrant, perfectly balanced acidity refreshes and revitalizes everything, proving that despite its evolution, the wine still has a long life ahead. A wine with a strong gastronomic identity that flirts with both the past and the future of winemaking. As for its finish — it’s truly unforgettable.

More info

Yiannis Oikonomou releases almost simultaneously two different vintages of Assyrtiko — two exceptional wines of equal quality but entirely distinct style. Among them, the 2016 stands out with its deep golden hue and its impressive aromatic evolution, dominated by complex oxidative notes, without a trace of the petrol character often found in aged Santorini Assyrtika. On the palate, it is powerful, structured, and slightly phenolic, with truly remarkable intensity and length. A singular wine of profound complexity that reflects Yiannis Oikonomou’s deep connection to the long-standing winemaking traditions of his homeland.
