Assyrtico 2022 - Domaine Tatsis

Assyrtico - Domaine Tatsis 

A skin-macerated Assyrtiko with great personality, made from grapes left in contact with their skins for 10 days before maturing in steel tanks. It is intense and aromatic on the nose, offering elegant notes of orange zest and mango, accompanied by nuances of Mediterranean herbs and herbal tea. On the palate, it surprises with its freshness and tension, underpinned by crisp, citrusy acidity—reminiscent of lime—that is well-balanced by a pleasant tannic structure. A fresh, aromatic, and dynamic skin-contact white wine that successfully marries the vibrancy of Assyrtiko with the complexity derived from skin contact.

Service

We recommend tasting it at a temperature of 10/12 ° in tulip glasses. Wine to be drunk immediately to be drunk immediately but will express its best in a few years. We recommend keeping it in a horizontal position in a cool, damp and dark cellar.

Pairing

Its pronounced savoriness pairs naturally with dishes featuring soft textures and delicate sweetness: creamy seafood risottos, pasta dishes with shellfish and crustaceans, oven-baked fish, and Mediterranean cuisine.

Cellar:  Domaine Tatsis

The Domaine Tatsis is located in Goumenissa, a town in the Macedonian region, an ideal place for viticulture where the soils are of limestone origin. The Tatsis family arrived here in 1924 after the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire, coming from Bulgaria. Always winegrowers, the care of the vineyards has passed from grandfather to grandchildren Periclis and Stergios, the current owners. Periklis works the land and supervises the vineyards while Stergios is the oenologist Today there are 14 hectares of vines grown with the classic Greek vines: Roditis l 'Alepou, and Malagousia for whites, and Negoska, Xinomavro for reds. The Domaine Tatsis is among the first in Greece to believe in biodynamic agriculture and the Tatsis brothers intervene as little as possible both in the vineyard and in the cellar.
