Assyrtiko
Santorini Assyrtiko (volcanic grape grown in kouloura on ash and pumice, Greek island facing Crete) — lemon, sea salt, flint and dried herbs form the perfect Mediterranean pairing for Cypriot grilled halloumi; Aegean salinity echoing the natural salt of the pressed goat-sheep cheese, taut acidity de-greasing 220°C plancha cooking, herbs prolonging dusted oregano.
Rosé de Provence
Provence Rosé (Grenache-Cinsault from the Maures), pale and chilled to 8°C, accompanies salty grilled halloumi without weighing down; faded-citrus freshness calming the salt of Cypriot goat-sheep cheese, peach echoing the watermelon often served in summer salad with grilled halloumi, dried herbs prolonging fresh mint or oregano finish.
Vermentino
Vermentino, bright and herbal, balances the saltiness of grilled halloumi.
