Description

The 2023 Papagiannakos Old Vines Savatiano is a benchmark expression of Greece’s most widely planted white variety, showcasing the dedication of the Papagiannakos family to their Attican roots.

Crafted from 50-year-old, non-irrigated vines planted in limestone soils, this wine is a true reflection of its terroir. Located at 100 metres altitude in Markopoulo, these north-facing vines yield small, concentrated berries. The hand-harvested grapes are fermented in stainless steel at low temperatures to retain their vibrant aromatics and freshness.

Delicate floral aromas with notes of citrus and fresh herbs greet the nose, leading to a crisp, refreshing palate with hints of lemon and a touch of stone fruit. The wine’s natural acidity and textural finesse add depth, while a subtle minerality shines through the clean, balanced finish.

A versatile and invigorating white, this Savatiano pairs beautifully with Mediterranean dishes, seafood, and grilled white meats. It’s also a testament to the Papagiannakos family's commitment to elevating indigenous Greek varieties.

Domaine Papagiannakos, Markopoulo/Attica, Greece

It was at the beginning of the last century — 1919, that the first generation Papagiannakos field the very first barrel. And from that moment through loving care and with the inherited wisdom of ancient wine-making traditions, the Papagiannakos family rapidly gains respect and renown for the fine quality of wine they produce.

Ever since the 1960s, the new Papagiannakos generation, in accordance with tradition and with the adoption of more modern wine producing methods, redefines the wine making process bringing it to the third millennium.

Attican Vineyard

Native and foreign grape varieties co-exist in this vineyard, the largest in Greece today, with white varieties, Savatiano, Malagouzia and Roditis prevailing. These varieties flourish in Attica’s environment capturing 80% of today’s vineyards. However, red varieties such as Agiorgitiko and Merlot are also cultivated with great success producing several of Greece’s best red wines.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
