Wine Advocate
Reviewed June 2026Demonstrating how mainland Assyrtiko often leans toward a fruitier profile than its island counterparts, the Domaine Skouras 2025 Assyrtiko Wild Ferment offers attractive aromas of orchard fruit and citrus framed by subtle mineral notes and chamomile. The grapes are harvested at moderate ripeness, around 13.5% potential alcohol, to preserve freshness. Whole-cluster pressed and fermented with indigenous yeasts, the wine spends four to six months on the lees, adding texture and mid-palate volume. The palate is defined by taut tension and a distinctly rocky mineral character that recalls crushed quartz rather than the pumice-driven profile often associated with Santorini. Fresh and focused, this wine highlights a different but compelling expression of Assyrtiko. (ML)

Skouras, one of the great producers in the Peloponnese, began experimenting with the grape nearly two decades ago. Planting it in the region of Nemea, known for its high altitude vineyards and iron-rich red clay soils, their version has really taken off.
The new 2025 Skouras Assyrtiko begins with that crunchy mineral character not dissimilar to the ones you find on Santorini, but there is a lifted brighter quality here. Where the ones from Santorini are more glycerol, this has a vibrancy that makes me lean into green apples, fresh squeezed lemons and light nectarine notes. The sensation of minerality finishes though and a plate of oysters is one of the first things that springs to mind. There is much to love with this aperitif style, great as a starter of course or with any grilled fish or shellfish plucked from the nearby Mediterranean.
