Did you know that Nykteri is the traditional white wine of Santorini, which is produced from very ripen grapes of Assyrtiko and aged in oak barrels?
Its designation comes from its traditional winemaking process. In the past, the harvest took place during the day and then, the stomping of the grapes during the night. In Greek, the word “night” is translated to “nykta” and therefore the name “nykteri”.
The purpose of that procedure was the protection of the must from oxidation since the temperature is lower and the light limited during nighttime. The harvest is manual. The grapes are collected in crates, never completely filled, to avoid broken berries.
They immediately go to the facilities of the winery where they are placed in special cooling chambers, at a temperature of 10 ºC, in order to avoid any oxidation and to protect the aromatic potential of the Assyrtiko variety.
Only the free run juice is taken, with natural flow, without any mechanical pressure but only by the weight of the grapes. In this way, the bitter and astringent substances of the marcs are avoided. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in the stainless steel tanks, under controlled temperature at 17ºC. 1-2 days before the end of the fermentation the wine is placed into 3rd used French oak barrels.
In order to maintain the quality of the wine, the aging in barrels takes place in the underground canavas (cellar) where stable and controlled temperature conditions (15 -16 οC) and humidity (70 -80%) are strictly monitored. The wine remains into the barrels for 6 months, with its lees, before bottling.

The best month to visit depends on your preferences and what you want to experience on the island. Here are some considerations for each month:

- May to September: These are the peak summer months in Santorini, with hot temperatures and a bustling atmosphere. The island is at its busiest during this time, with tourists flocking to enjoy the beautiful beaches, vibrant nightlife, and outdoor activities. However, be prepared for higher prices and crowded attractions.

- September to November: The fall season in Santorini brings cooler temperatures, but the weather is still pleasant for exploring the island. The crowds start to thin out, and you can enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere. It’s a great time for wine lovers as the vineyards are in harvest season.

- December to March: These are the winter months in Santorini, and the island experiences cooler temperatures and occasional rainfall. Many hotels and restaurants may be closed during this time, but if you’re looking for a quiet and peaceful getaway, it can be a good option.

Did you know that Santorini cultivates nine indigenous grape varieties, including the famous Assyrtiko?

Traces of this dry white wine were found in a prehistoric village excavated at Akrotiri, buried under the volcanic eruption that once sank half the island.
But what is particularly unique and not widely known about it is the vinification process; how the vines form a basket with the grapes growing in the center so as to protect them from the harsh Aegean winds.
Santorini is the perfect place to take a wine tour, choosing one, or more, of the 18 wineries that are in close proximity to one another. This will definitely be an experience of a lifetime.

If you’re asked to participate in an activity that profits from animal abuse during a vacation, please tell the organizers that you refuse to take part because no one deserves to suffer for entertainment.
Also, ask them to stop offering such activities in the future. Please help keep the pressure on the Greek government to do right by the animals and stop permitting abusive donkey and mule “taxi” rides on Santorini.
