Saint August Assyrtiko
Santorini, Aegean, Greece
Color of golden straw with a cloudiness since it’s unfiltered. The nose is lovely...tart apple (crab or green), fresh off the rocks ocean spray with a lovely salinity, seashells, golden raisins and a touch of honey. Upon taking a sip my mouth salivates everywhere. The seashells, salinity, golden raisins, and hint of honey come through immediately and last for some time as the salinity picks up, the tart apple peaks it’s head. This is screaming out for seafood or fish to pair, but can easily do without. There’s good body to this, more than your typical assyrtiko.

Feb 4th, 2020This is the unfiltered version. Fuller white. Almost an orange wine crossed with a less sweet desert wine. There’s salinity with good acidity and am almost cooking oil mouth feel. There’s a golden raisin, cumquat l, nectarine flavor coming through as well with orange zest citrus notes. The pallet is similar. There a good amount of complexity to this full flavored ‘white’ wine. Good for roasted chicken, pork chops, stinky cheeses and buttery fish.
