Reductive nose but super expressive on the palate with acidity, dry extract and phenolic material to spare. So authoritative.

Lean but full. Mineral. Tart balance. Guessed Austrian, blind. Dried herbs. Not fruit-driven. Underripe pears.

Paired with lentil soup and an olive app, this bright, clean Greek wine smells of melon and dried parsley and tastes of almonds, wet stone, citrus, and stone fruit. Not a sipper. Food wine.

Superb texture, the palate is crisp and tensile, with sharp acids and flavors of crisp and snappy citrus, with a stone and steely mineral tension. I may have found a new oyster wine. #santorini #greekwine #winebow #thalassitis #assyrtiko

Another lesson in NOT drinking significant white grapes too young. Outstanding dimension and complexity.

Have always loved this crisp Greek white but amazed to find it went so well with a chicken couscous yesterday
