Recent vintages have brought great acclaim from wine critics and sommeliers at top
Michelin-starred restaurants, who have embraced these utterly distinctive wines with
great enthusiasm. As the fan base grows, so does the fame and reputation of the
volcanic wines of Santorini, attracting drinkers who want to explore beyond
Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Assyrtiko ticks all the boxes: authenticity,
freshness and minerality – the fact that producers from other countries worldwide
have started planting it is more than just coincidence!
Yiannis has spent years visiting and exploring the island, the producers and its wines
and getting under the skin of one of the most fascinating wine terroirs in the world.
Mark Andrew MW forewords the book and writes ‘’Like any great wine region, there
is much to discover once you scratch beneath the surface, so it helps to have an
entertaining and well-informed guide. This book is both. Through his regular visits to
Santorini – tough work, but someone’s got to do it –Yiannis has become the authority
on the history, grapes, people, places and methods behind the wines, not to mention
the bottles we should be buying, drinking or saving for a special occasion. It is this
deep understanding that illuminates the pages of The Wines of Santorini and will
transport you and your palate to this incredible place. Enjoy the view!’’
