Lime zest, grapefruit and green apple leap from the glass, followed by a touch of honeysuckle and a cool mineral edge that keeps everything taut and focused. The palate is fresh and precise, with crisp acidity slicing through the ripe fruit, while a subtle breadth through the middle gives the wine just enough texture to feel complete. Zesty, saline and beautifully refreshing, this is a white that hums with clarity and finishes long, stony and mouthwatering. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"873\" data-end=\"1196\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"873\" data-end=\"886\"\u003eFor when:\u003c\/strong\u003e seafood is ordered, the sun is out, and the first glass disappears far too quickly.\u003cbr data-start=\"970\" data-end=\"973\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"973\" data-end=\"988\"\u003ePairs with:\u003c\/strong\u003e grilled prawns, oysters, lemony fish dishes, or salty appetisers on a warm evening.\u003cbr data-start=\"1072\" data-end=\"1075\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1075\" data-end=\"1105\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eIf this wine were a place:\u003c\/strong\u003e a whitewashed terrace above the sea, all bright stone, citrus peel and salt on the breeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1198\" data-end=\"1770\"\u003eGaia (\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003epronounced Yay-ya) is one of the pioneers of modern Greek wine, founded in 1994 by Leon Karatsalos and Yiannis Paraskevopoulos, with wineries in both Nemea and Santorini and a reputation for pushing Greek indigenous varieties into sharper international focus. Monograph Assyrtiko shows that philosophy beautifully, taking this iconic grape beyond Santorini and into the Peloponnese, where calcareous mainland soils give it a slightly broader, more fruit-forward expression while preserving the freshness and mineral tension that define the variety.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54799777563009,"sku":null,"price":19.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/WineRepublicimage-15.png?v=1780416406","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2024-monograph-assyrtiko-gaia-wines","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
