34 Santorini Ancestral Vines Dry Assyrtiko 2021

9.3

Popped and poured; no formal notes. This was another beautiful example of Assyrtiko from Artemis Karamolegos. This one however, is 100% Assyrtiko from 120+ year old, own-rooted vines. It’s also drop dead gorgeous. Bright, fresh and concentrated lemon citrus fruits, a touch waxy and beautiful minerality. The acid is awesome. Finish is long and saline. A wonderful pairing with grouper and pasta with shrimp saganaki. — 8 months ago

Excellent white wine from Santorini. Light straw color. Nose shows minerality along with hints of petrol. It reminds me of a refined Sancerre with tastes of pears, a little lemon, and some spice. Great pairing with red snapper. — a year ago

Santorini Assyrtiko 2018

9.1

"a rare white wine from the island of Santorini" - an amazing blend with a variety of tastes - the winemaking process draws out tastes of salt, flint, peach, and chamomile. Makes me want to be back in Greece again. — 3 years ago

Nykteri Assyrtiko Blend 2019

Jay Kline

9.3

Popped and poured. The 2019 “Nykteri” is a blend of 90% Assyrtiko with the balance comprising of some Athiri and Aidani. This was utterly beautiful with bright, powerful lemon citrus fruits and tremendous minerality. The acidity, which was in the medium+/high category, was sneaky well hidden. There was very deft use of large format oak (a combination of used and new) that combines well with the sur-lie style and makes this drop dead gorgeous. The finish was packed with minerals, saline and went on forever. A killer pairing with grilled octopus and coquettes with arseniko from Naxos and apaki. — 8 months ago
