Is Crispy Assyrtiko from Muses Estate one of the crispiest, most vibrant wines we’ve tasted from the majestic Assyrtiko grape? Absolutely—and the name says it all. It’s crisp by name and crisp by nature! Does it offer the best value for an Assyrtiko compared to its outstanding quality? Without a doubt!
Founded in 1947 in Askri, Viotia, in the enchanting Valley of the Muses Estate is a family-run estate now in its third generation of winemakers and grape growers. Nestled at the foot of Mount Helicon, Zacharias family (Nikos, Stelios, and Panagiotis) honors the legacy of their land—after all, “Askra (the ancient name of Askri)” literally means “rich in grapes.” They farm both native and international varieties organically, producing wines with depth, aromatic clarity, and impressive fruit concentration.
Crispy Assyrtiko Muses Estate is a perfect example. It comes from old vines planted at 560 meters elevation, lovingly cultivated with care and passion. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks using ambient yeasts to highlight the character of the old vines. The wine then spends 8 months on the lees, adding texture and complexity.
This is the kind of wine that can easily win your heart—and at this price, it might just become your go-to vacation wine. Try it now!
