AboutĒkhô Wines
Winemaker Lefteris Anagnostou founded Ēkhô Wines with Konstantinos Makridimitris, releasing their first vintage in 2021. They work with growers and selected plots on the Greek islands of Naxos, Santorini and Lemnos.
The project helps preserve old vineyards, often with ungrafted vines, on isolated, low-yielding sites that can be difficult to reach and farm. Its wines explore indigenous grapes, including rare Cycladic varieties.
Ēkhô 2023 Red Limnio
Greek Red
$81.99
Limnio comes from one of Limnos’s last ungrafted vineyards, where vines exceed eighty years of age. Pomegranate and currant appear with mint, bay leaf and rhubarb. The wine has a light-to-medium mouthfeel, supple tannins and a vivid finish. It is a dry, still red with thirteen percent alcohol. The low-yield bush vines grow on sandy soil of volcanic origin near the sea.
Ekho 2022 Santorini Assyrtiko
Greek White
$124.99
Chamomile, green tea and bergamot appear with basil, citrus zest and white pepper. The palate is steely and oily, with sharp acidity, white nectarine, tea, ginger, tension, salinity and a mineral finish. Fruit comes from a single Megalochori vineyard beside the caldera rim, planted to ungrafted basket-trained Assyrtiko more than 150 years old. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel; the wine spends eleven months on lees with regular stirring.
Ēkhô Wines 2023 Rosé Naxos
Greek Rosé
$79.99
Soft pink and quietly aromatic, led by floral notes rather than overt fruit. Pronounced acidity gives the palate a crisp, taut shape, while subtle spice, lees ageing and partial fermentation in acacia bring texture and complexity without heaviness. Light-bodied, dry and elegant, it finishes clean and restrained. Serve well chilled with shellfish, grilled vegetables, mezze or lightly spiced seafood.
