Emphasis Assyrtiko Pavlidis is proof that Assyrtiko can truly shine beyond Santorini. It has been a consistent and classic choice for lovers of the variety for years—and for good reason!
In the heart of Drama, at the foothills of Mount Menoikio, Ktima Pavlidis crafts wines that uniquely express the region’s terroir. Founded in 1998 by Christoforos Pavlidis, the winery’s vision has always been to showcase both Greek and international varieties through modern techniques and absolute respect for nature. Its vineyards are located in two historic sites, Kokkinogeia and Perichora, where low yields and nighttime harvesting ensure maximum freshness and aromatic intensity.
Emphasis Assyrtiko Pavlidis comes from a single vineyard at an altitude of 550 meters. After careful handpicking, the grapes undergo whole-bunch pressing, cold maceration, and fermentation in small stainless-steel tanks and oak barrels. The wine then matures for six months on fine lees, gaining volume and complexity.
Emphasis Assyrtiko Pavlidis is vibrant and fresh yet has an aging potential that reaches up to a decade.
