Santorini, Aegean, Greece
See Delectable note from 23 weeks ago. No lengthy notes on this occasion but it retained the lemony citrus notes together with mineral and a distinct salinity. A refreshing and moreish Mediterranean white. Unoaked.

Mar 2nd, 2022The aromatics were typical of a Mediterranean white with flowers and minerality more so than fruit driven. Initially a creaminess to the palate which finishes quite mineral/salty. The saltiness dominates somewhat at the end which finishes bone dry. Following day a great match with fresh Pacific Oysters.

Nov 22nd, 2017if you see "Assyrtiko" on a #wine list, just order it. You'll love it, I promise. It's the perfect white #wine for a sweltering summer, refreshing AND interesting AND affordable. Here at the surprisingly great new resto @MotelMorris. (And #Greek wineries: you need to do a better job of promoting how delicious your #wines can be!)
