Rouvalis Assyrtiko

The winery is run by Theodora Rouvalis and her partner, Antonio Ruiz Pañego. Both are trained oenologists who worked in Chile and New Zealand, before moving to Burgundy and working at renowned estates: Clos de Tart for Theodora, Frédéric Magnien for Antonio. The estate vineyards are in the mountainous region above the town of Aigion, on the slopes of Aigialeia, in the northern Peloponnese; they are farmed organically. The wine is full-bodied with notes of orange blossom, a crisp finish, and unique minerality. An excellent pairing with grilled fish, oysters, shellfish, and even Mediterranean tomato-based dishes.
