Undeserving of lower ratings - this is a wine Greece can be proud of (finally?) So pale, almost clear with a just a hint of green hay. I've never seen a wine more clear. The most is florally dominated with white flowers - lilacs. Also a raw petrol component. Some subtle lower sugar tropical fruits. On the palette, the attack has a sexy brininess that transitions to sweet green melon towards the finish. The sweetness of the finish really "makes" this wine. Its typicity unique, and it's execution so nice. The wine has such a pale hue and so little viscosity, one doesn't know what to expect! Highly recommended experience.

Delicate, aromatic, fresh white made of indigenous cretan grape Moschofilero.
Bright straw colour with greenish hues.
Duchess pears dominate the nose, some grass, jasmine and lollipop also detected. Touch of tropical fruits.
Mouthfeel is well-balanced, yet leaves impression of simplicity.
Flavored by pears, apples, white currant, kumquat. Light body, low acidity.
Grapefruit zest plus white currant bitterness on subtle finish.
Matched well "med" salad and mixed grilled fish plate.

The notes of mint went great with lamb. Perfect for a hot evening.
