Diamantakis Petali Assyrtiko is a bright, citrusy and mineral Greek white wine showcasing a classic regional grape.

Founded in 2007, Diamantakis is a modern winery located in Crete, to the south-west of Heraklion in the heart of the Malevizi province.

The love and passion of the Diamantakis family for high quality wine and their long tradition in viticulture was the motivation to create a small winery in the area.

The family’s vision was the cultivation of local grape varieties such as Vidiano, Liatiko and Mandilaria, to produce their best expression in this unique microclimate.

This is a white wine made from an Assyrtiko grape – one of the most loved white grape in Greece. Originally from Santorini, an island in the Cyclades, Assyrtiko made its way into the mainlands of Greece. It now grows in Crete. The island is perfect for this grape as it’s one of few varietals that can thrive in hot, dry climates.

Low temperature fermentation of this Assyrtiko takes place in stainless steel tanks. Following these, it undergoes a three month maturation on fine lees to provide more depth and complexity to the wine’s texture.

Enjoy Diamantakis Petali Assyrtiko with a variety of traditional Mediterranean dishes.

Producer’s Tasting Notes

Firstly, a pale yellow colour with fresh citrus, floral and herbal aromas like oregano and thyme. Fresh with high, crispy acidity. There is a complexity to its texture, provided by the lees contact. This leads to a long finish with some notes of minerality.
