Founded by Haridimos Hatzidakis, this estate has long been a reference point for terroir-driven wines from Santorini. The Familia cuvée brings together fruit from old, ungrafted Assyrtiko vines grown in the island’s traditional basket-trained vineyards, shaped by intense sun, constant winds, and Santorini’s volcanic soils. Farming is organic and low-intervention, with a deep respect for the island’s fragile ecosystem and long viticultural history.
The 2024 Santorini Familia is crisp, focused, and distinctly maritime. Bright citrus notes of lemon peel and grapefruit lead, followed by subtle stone fruit and a pronounced saline-mineral character that is unmistakably from Santorini. The palate is linear and refreshing, driven by high natural acidity and a chalky, volcanic edge that carries through the finish. Clean, vibrant, and precise, this is a clear expression of Assyrtiko and the famed island it comes from.
Varietal: Assyrtiko
Appellation: Santorini, Cyclades, Greece
Farming: Organically farmed; low-intervention
Style: White. Crisp, mineral-driven, and coastal
