The 2024 Domaine Zafeirakis Assyrtiko PGI Tyrnavos (Thessalia, Greece) is a fresh, mineral-driven expression of Assyrtiko grown in the foothills of Mount Olympus, where organic farming and limestone-rich soils emphasize purity and precision.
Made entirely from Assyrtiko and typically fermented in stainless steel, it highlights a brighter, more restrained style compared to Santorini, focusing on finesse rather than power.
The nose shows delicate white flowers, citrus zest, and orchard fruit layered with crushed stone and subtle herbal notes, while the palate is crisp and energetic, driven by lemon, lime, white peach, and a distinct saline, mineral edge. Light-to-medium in body with vibrant acidity, it finishes clean, dry, and refreshing with a slightly almond-tinged bitterness, making it an excellent pairing for oysters, grilled fish, shellfish, and fresh Mediterranean dishes.
