Domaine Economou’s Oikonomoy Assyrtiko PGI 2017 is a rare, late-release expression of Crete’s iconic Assyrtiko crafted by Giannis Economou, one of Greece’s most celebrated natural winemakers. Sourced from old, own-rooted vines on the high-altitude Ziros plateau, the wine is organically farmed and made with native yeasts, long oxidative aging in old oak, and bottled unfiltered. Deep golden in color, it reveals complex aromas of dried apricot, quince, citrus peel, beeswax, and Mediterranean herbs, with hints of spice and a subtle saline edge. On the palate, it is rich and textural yet vibrant, with electric acidity, a whisper of tannin, and an endlessly layered finish. Produced in tiny quantities and renowned for its cult status, this remarkable Assyrtiko showcases both the terroir of eastern Crete and Economou’s artisanal craftsmanship.
