From one of Greece's most iconic producers, this wine is a stunning, lengthy and concentrated expression of Assyrtiko. Salty and mineral - it tastes of iodine, lime pith, fresh green apple, green olive skin and crushed stones, yet the addition of Athiri gives the wine a softness and lift. Completely transportive to the Aegean, the paradigm of an island wine. 75% Assyrtiko, 25% Athiri.

Briny. Lots of lime and lemon. This grew on me significantly, as I was underwhelmed at first compared to some of my favorite Asyrtikos. For that I am sorry...as this is very approachable and excellent for this price point.

Salty bright fruit. Reminiscent of vermentino on the palate. Rich up front but cleans up big time. $13.49

Bought this is Greece. Love it. Has a nice acidity and minerality to the taste. From the lovely volcanic soil of Santorini.

Medium bodied, with sharp acidity. Peaches & salt. Hard to beat this with a fresh dorada. Gotta love those volcanoes!
