Domaine Economou’s Assyrtiko Phi 2017 comes from old, ungrafted Assyrtiko vines planted on the high Ziros plateau of eastern Crete, in terroir defined by limestone and wind-scoured rocks at altitude. Winemaker Yiannis Economou applies organic and minimal-intervention practices, allowing the grape’s native character to emerge.
Aromas of dried apple and salt-spray lead into the palate, where rich texture meets vivid acidity and a subtle oxidative edge. Crushed stone and Mediterranean herbs add dimension as the finish lingers. This is a distinct and compelling expression of Assyrtiko.
Varietal: Assyrtiko
Appellation: Crete, Greece
Farming: Organic, low-intervention practices
Style: White. Tense, mineral-driven and distinctive
