Got a Greek white for my Greek dinner and I think the wine could have been the focal point instead of the pairing. Great wine, not Earth-shattering. Bright pear, light stonefruit, balanced citrus aroma and flavor paired with everything I threw at it including spanakopita, tzatziki, and Greek salad. Was kind of bummed when the bottle was empty. Highly recommend!

Very pale white color. Aroma is quite slate-y/flint-y evoking a better balanced sauv blanc for Marlborough. Loads of floral notes and citrus blossom all finishing lemony. Fair bit more body than the aroma suggests. Like a very light chard slapped with all the aromatics of a sauv blanc. Nice refreshing acidic finished that cut through the heavy spice note of the chicken gyro and masterfully balanced with the tzaztiki.
