I adore this site. The texture is always on point. Restrained opulence is the calling card here. Nose is super complex and stoney out of the gates. Really a mess of limestone and some fresh hermes Then the intense ripe cherry leaks through. Black cherry, red cherry, sour cherry all at once. Nuclear levels of spice, stone and even some mulberry. Superb balance and energy with compelling sweetness and stoniness. Lush, plush texture that will get even more lush and plus with air. Very seductive. Oh man the tiny berry fruit intensity is off the charts. Juicy and so sweet but backed up by insane energy and stoniness. Opening by the minute. Terrific inner mouth aromas and just amazing velvety tannins. 9.5 for now but let’s see the go higher with air. — 9 months ago


Wine is deep garnet. Smells like violet, decomposed bramble and slate. Immense aroma. Overwhelming. On the palate violet, cherry and strawberry. Elegant hermes leather and a touch of wet slate. Quite delicious. It wants to be a refined Sangiovese but it's more than that. Quite nice. — 4 years ago

Hermes – Assyrtiko 2024
Peloponnese PGI – Greece 🇬🇷
Overview
A 100% Assyrtiko from the Peloponnese, showcasing a more textural and savory expression of the grape outside Santorini. The 2024 vintage leans into tension, structure, and food-driven character, with noticeable intensity and length.
Aromas & Flavors
Citrus-driven with lemon zest and subtle stone fruit, layered with mineral and lightly savory notes. Expressive, with a more pronounced intensity than expected.
Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with firm acidity and strong tension. Textural, slightly weightier on the palate, with a long, persistent finish and a clean, dry profile.
Food Pairings
Built for food, perfect with grilled fish, shellfish, Mediterranean dishes, or anything with olive oil, herbs, and citrus. Also holds up well to richer white meat dishes.
Verdict
A serious, food-friendly Assyrtiko with structure and personality. Not a light, easy sipper, but rewarding for those who enjoy tension, minerality, and a more savory edge.
🍷 Did You Know?
Assyrtiko is one of the few white grapes that can retain high acidity even in warm climates, which is why it thrives across Greece while maintaining its signature freshness. — 11 days ago
