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.
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.
