10% assyrtiko
creamy grilled pineapple, brioche crumbles and lemon curd.
paired lovely with greek pastry fresh from the bakery(the gruyer cheese filling was the best, the spinach second best), cucumbers and cherry tomatoes.

asked the missus to open a red one 🙈
she picked the last one from our travel in greece.
mind-blowing xinomavro as usual.
the strong yet integrated tannins made it clear what 🍇 it is.
red and black 🍒, ripe raspberry, clove and allspice and some dirt.
nice med + acidity.
medium body.
long long long 🎯

Popped and poured; no formal notes. Continuing our commitment to only drinking Greek wine on this trip, this Blanc de Noir made from Xinomavro was a fun way to start our meal at Salis. The zero dosage was…obvious and the phenolic bitterness was about as much as I can recall in a wine. But with some grilled octopus, this blossomed. Notes of stone fruits, underripe raspberry and loads of minerals. Acid was off the charts. Disgorged December 2022 — a year ago
