Here’s how Anhydrous Winery is Capturing the Essence of Santorini’s Terroir

Journey into the heart of Santorini with Anhydrous Winery, where the vibrant character of Assyrtiko comes alive through ancient winemaking techniques and the island's unique terroir

Nestled on the picturesque island of Santorini, Anhydrous Winery embodies a deep connection to its unique terroir and the native Assyrtiko grape variety. Founded in 2021 by winemaker Apostolos Mountrichas, the winery is the culmination of a journey that began in the early 2000s. Mountrichas discovered his passion for Santorini’s remarkable landscapes and the robust character of Assyrtiko, leading him to embark on a dedicated project in 2012.

Innovation Meets Tradition

With a philosophy rooted in innovation and tradition, Anhydrous Winery focuses on the ancient techniques that enhance the purity and primary varietal characteristics of its wines. Each bottle is a reflection of Santorini's dry land, volcanic soil, and the harmonious interplay of the island’s intense sun and cooling sea breezes. This unique combination imparts a distinctive and intense personality to the wines, truly capturing the essence of this Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) region.
