Ktima Zafeirakis, located in Tyrnavos in Thessaly, is led by winemaker Christos Zafeirakis, a pioneer of organic viticulture in the region and a champion of expressing Greek varieties with precision and purity. While the estate is best known for its work with Limniona, Christos also crafts standout whites, including Assyrtiko, using gentle handling and minimal intervention to preserve freshness and terroir-driven detail.
The Assyrtiko 2024 opens with vibrant aromas of citrus blossom, lemon zest and green apple, supported by subtle notes of wet stone and fresh herbs. On the palate it is crisp and focused, showing taut citrus and orchard-fruit flavours wrapped around a firm, saline backbone. The texture is clean and lightly chalky, giving the wine finesse without weight. A long, mineral finish, bright, zesty and refreshing, highlights Assyrtiko’s natural energy and Ktima Zafeirakis’ precise, elegant style.
