Artemis Karamolegos
34 Santorini Ancestral Vines Dry Assyrtiko
Santorini, Aegean, Greece
Popped and poured; no formal notes. This was another beautiful example of Assyrtiko from Artemis Karamolegos. This one however, is 100% Assyrtiko from 120+ year old, own-rooted vines. It’s also drop dead gorgeous. Bright, fresh and concentrated lemon citrus fruits, a touch waxy and beautiful minerality. The acid is awesome. Finish is long and saline. A wonderful pairing with grouper and pasta with shrimp saganaki.

Smelling very aromatic, palate with a bit of sea salt and freshness.

Salty, zesty and yeasty. Good quality, made from old vines from multiple vineyards on Santorini. It has been proven that Assyrtiko is a great variety. But some of the wines I’ve tasted lately has been a bit generic for the price tag. This is solid, but I got more excitement from the €11 Vidiano wine from Crete I drank a few weeks back than this bottle.

Salty and floral nose. A very well balanced Assyrtiko. Lots more lime and green apple vs. lemon.

in goes the corkscrew and out is the cork
pour in the glass, sniff and “damn…”
pour in da Boss’s glass, sniff and double “damn… gimme more”. twenty minute battle of short pours later and it all gone:-)
seriously though,
bottle shows MUCH better than previous in November 2021. the acid is just right now. few left to consume over next few months (why wait if it perfect now (‘sides acid dropped a lot in six months)) If i get one for meself (sorry Boss) maybe i’ll update the tasting notes.
Or get yer own “damn” bottle(s) and know for yourself:-)
