Santorini White Blend

One of Greece’s best kept secrets. Love the Koutsoyannopoulos wines. For fans of Hatzidakis and Sigalas.

Surprised its richness and weight on the palate. Considerably oily, driven by phenolics of green almond, olive, and wax. Subtle nose, lemon, a touch of fennel, petrol. Certainly saline. Seems to have considerable lees integration. Curious on the blend because the acidity seems a touch soft for an Assyrtiko dominant wine.

Sad to say this because it’s not exactly an overly hyped region, but I’ve been repeatedly disappointed with Greek island/Santorini whites recently. This one has fine mineral, citrus and white flower aromas but then it just sits dead on the palate. So many taste of commercial yeast and an “international” winemaking style lacking vibrancy.

“Wine of high quality” indeed! Bright and creamy, lemon, seashell, olive brine

Nice Greek saline white with lemony fragrance

Beautifully aged Assyrtiko. Impressive mid-palate density with light creaminess and loads of refreshing lift.

Peach, green apple, white flowers, and citrus. M+ acid. M- body. Bitter on the mid palate but still balanced.

Really nice crisp refreshing on a hot summer day!

Holy Assyrtiko batman. This makes all the other Assyrtiko I have ever tried seem vapid, sorry no offense intended.
Leesy, cheese curds, dried apricots, white lilies and minerals for miles.
Palate attack is beautiful, unctuous yet still snappy, with almost menthol or camphor backnotes, topped by dried apricots and white flowers all bound by intense minerality.

Wow impressive capture Delectable. Copper wire and honeyed fennel and chalk and petrol. Feels aged and somehow luxurious. Nice.
