Aerides Xynistéri 2023

The oak free Aerides is balanced, well structured, light>medium bodied, with aromatic and flavorsome notes of citrus, stone fruits, herbs and gobs of minerality.

Overall, it is savory and satisfying with a long, textured finish, likely driven by its spontaneous fermentation and three to six months sur lie aging. A nifty, under the radar discovery.

Very different take on Xinisteri. Rich and very structured. Lots of minerals and good acid. Has more in common with a high end village Burgundy than the bitingly acidic xinisteri more typical of Cyprus. Long finish. Excellent. — 3 years ago

Xynistéri 2022

Super unique nose. A little like a fino sherry with almond notes, a little floral, a little subtle stone fruits. Apricot on the palate in a slightly rounder body, soft acidity, and some texture.

Aerides Chardonnay Xynistéri 2022

A wonderful dry white, at Muse, with Marta and Bob. The sardines from La Brijula were a fabulous compliment to this wine. — 8 months ago

Topikos Oinos Lemesos Xynistéri 2021

NOSE: light, bright, lemon, seawater…a little asparagus? Green something. The tiniest smidge of passionfruit.

TASTE: clean…very clean. Less acid than you expect. Distinct spices…chili? Cardamom? White flower petals. This would be great with fish tacos. 90.
