White wines with tricky names or unusual provenances may have more to offer than you think, writes Toni Paterson.

Are you intimidated by wines you can’t pronounce? Or scared of unfamiliar grape varieties? I know it’s tempting just to buy a rosé and be done with it, but there is a super-exciting world of quirky and sometimes spicy white wines that would be a crime to miss out on.

Take assyrtiko (ahs-SEER-tee-ko), a fabulous Greek variety that is grown extensively on the island of Santorini. It makes incredibly vibrant and delicious wines with citrus flavors and crisp acidity. If you like Riesling or sauvignon blanc, you will probably enjoy assyrtiko. Argyros is a quality producer from Greece; for something local, try the excellent South Australian version by Jim Barry Wines.
