Volcanic Slopes Vineyards ★ 4.1
Boutique estate working parcels on the southern (Akrotiri) end of Santorini, where the most-exposed cliffside vineyards sit above the Vlychada black-sand beach. Small production focused on Assyrtiko and Mavrotragano.
Tasting: By appointment; visits focus on the southern Akrotiri vineyards above the volcanic black-sand beaches, with a tasting flight emphasising the southern-exposed, wind-scoured style.
Signature wines: volcanic-slopes-pure-volcanic-assyrtiko, volcanic-slopes-mavrotragano
Tip: Worth combining with a visit to the Akrotiri archaeological site and Red Beach; the southern-exposure style is leaner and more saline than the central-island norm.
