Santorini’s Assyrtiko variety has, over the years, gained recognition and acclaim both inside and outside Greece. It was this grape variety which caught the attention of a well-known winemaking couple from Evia, Apostoles and Lenga Mountricha. With a wealth of knowledge and several exquisit wines under their belts, they traveled to Messaria, Santorini.
