Background: Argyros Estate was established in 1903 and is now run by Matthew Argyros, the fourth generation of the family to do so although the family has been involved in grape growing on Santorini for 200 years.
Tasting Notes: Pale lemon green in colour. Purity focused, dominated by citrus, lemon and lime aromas with a hint of salinity. On the palate it is dry with a piercing acidity. It is textured, medium to full bodided that feels broad yet lively, showcasing flavours of fresh apricot, roasted almonds and white tea. The finish is long, clean and refreshing.

Grape Variety: 90% Assyrtiko, 5% Athiri & 5% Aidani
Background: Argyros Estate was established in 1903 and is now run by Matthew Argyros, the fourth generation of the family to do so although the family has been involved in grape growing on Santorini for 200 years.
Tasting Votes: Atlantis White is a fresh, charming wine, made to be enjoyed young and not intended for ageing. Light yellow colour, with vibrant aromas of citrus fruits, lemon blossom, and delicate notes of exotic fruits. Light body, good balance in the mouth thanks to the wine’s acidity and minerality with a pleasant tingling aftertaste.
