About this product
Gaia's Santorini Assyrtiko, named for the sea ('thalassa'), captures the variety's oceanic mineral character: lemon pith, white peach, and the distinctive saline volcanic minerality that places Santorini Assyrtiko among the world's great white wines.

Assyrtiko's briny mineral depth is a natural foil for taramasalata's rich, salty fish roe; the wine's acidity cuts through the spread's creaminess while pickled vegetables echo its tartness.
