Santo Wines Santorini Assyrtiko 2019: Medium-bodied. Beautiful bright acidity. An inviting aromatic nose of lemon zest, grapefruit & minerals. Tasting notes of lemon, pear, apple, honey, cream & minerals. Long finish with a touch of saline. Love this wine and everything it presents. Its rich minerality & acidity is top notch. Simply an outstanding wine that represents its terroir like no other. Close your eyes, take a sip and be transported to a Greek volcanic island. Highly recommend. Great weekend to all! Cheers 🇬🇷🍷

This is really nice. Slight salinity. Hints of lemon. Almost feels like there are bubbles on your tongue.

Very classic Assyrt with a strong citrus and saline backbone, but well rounded and smooth on the finish! Very strong showing.
