Why do we love it?

Assyrtiko 2024 from Arktos Elevation Vineyards is a bold, pure expression of the variety—bursting with freshness, structure, and that signature crisp character that high-altitude can deliver. And when you consider that the mastermind behind it is Artemis Karamolegos—carrying the weighty legacy of Santorini and a talent for transforming Assyrtiko into something truly exceptional—falling in love with this wine is practically inevitable.

Artemis’ latest “baby” is Arktos Elevation Vineyards in Amyntaio, where he crafts wines with total dedication—wines that authentically reflect both the grape and the place they come from.

Assyrtiko 2024 Arktos Elevation Vineyards comes from vineyards perched at 650–700 meters above sea level, on the slopes of Xino Nero and Agios Panteleimonas. It captures the cool, mountainous character of Amyntaio with remarkable precision. Fermentation takes place exclusively in stainless steel tanks to preserve its hallmark acidity and vibrancy, and the wine rests on its lees for about 7 months. A small portion is aged in old oak barrels, adding subtle depth and complexity—showcasing the winemaker’s finesse with the variety and proving that yes, this is his strong suit!

If, like us, you’re amazed by the dynamic of Assyrtiko outside of Santorini, then this Assyrtiko 2024 from Arktos Elevation Vineyards is a discovery you don’t want to miss.

Tastes Like

The nose is clean and expressive, with intense aromas of lemon, lime, citrus zest, white peach, grapefruit, green apple, and lemon blossom—all wrapped in delicate minerality and hints of toasted bread.

On the palate, it’s medium-bodied with sharp acidity that brings energy and tension. Bright lemony freshness and mineral notes dominate from the first sip. Juicy lime, citron, grapefruit, underripe peach, and green apple amplify the freshness, while notes of wet stone, sourdough, and toast fill the mouth in every sip.
