Moraitis Sarakiniko Single Vineyard Assyrtiko 2024 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 92/100

Moraitis' Sarakiniko Single Vineyard Assyrtiko is a striking, light to medium-bodied white wine offering notes of Meyer lemon zest, lime, Granny Smith apple and white peach. This bone-dry wine displays crisp focus and energetic acidity that will continue to develop over the next six years. Serve it well chilled with grilled octopus as the wine's distinct maritime salinity complements the charred seafood, or pair it with fresh oysters where the wine's vibrant citrus evokes the island's sea breezes and rocky terrain. Winemaker Alexandros Moraitis crafts this iconic Assyrtiko from volcanic soils, creating brilliant aromatics alongside lingering powdery minerality and gentle herbal lift on the finish. The wine's taut structure and stony intensity showcase the grape's potential beyond its native Santorini. This pristine, mineral-driven white represents excellent quality and will drink beautifully through 2032.

Assyrtiko food pairings: grilled octopus, fresh oysters, lemon-herb chicken, Greek salad with feta.
