Costa Lazaridi – Amethystos white

Amethystos White – Costa Lazaridi | Fresh, rich and internationally refined

The Amethystos White from Costa Lazaridi is an expressive, elegant white wine from Drama in northern Greece. It combines international grape varieties with Greek terroir and craftsmanship, resulting in a wine that is both fresh and layered, with great charm.

Grapes & origin
A refined blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Assyrtiko from the estate’s own vineyards in the Drama region. The mountainous landscape and cool microclimate give lively acidity, ripe fruit and mineral precision.

Vinification
Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. Part of the wine rests briefly on the fine lees (sur lie) for extra texture. No oak ageing — freshness, purity and grape expression take centre stage.

Tasting notes
Clear straw yellow with a green tinge. The nose opens with aromas of citrus, melon, white peach and a hint of exotic fruit. On the palate lively and elegant, with fresh acidity, a soft texture and a clean, mineral finish.

Serving tips
Serve at 8–10 °C. Excellent with ceviche, shellfish, grilled fish, light salads, sushi or dishes with green herbs and lemon.

Cellaring
At its best within 2–3 years of bottling. Drinking young is recommended for optimum freshness and aromatic intensity.
