Assyrtiko explained in 4 videos

In the autumn of 2018, the team of Gefseis & Oinos and I made a series of short videos on Greek varieties that last about a minute and a half. The series kicked-off with Assyrtiko; the amazing variety that has taken Greece abroad, and has paved the way for Greek wines in overseas markets. These videos are posted on my YouTube channel (You can subscribe here).

In the first part, I speak about the variety in general, its main characteristics, its flavor, where it is grown, the international varieties it could bring to mind, and the food pairings I suggest. All recounted in just 78 seconds. Please watch above for Part 1.
