Citrus , volcanic . Good length . Santorini wines are expensive . Grapes per kilo crazy expensive. This one is good value for Santorini , but there are certainly more interesting options for the price

Ive had my fair share of this varietal and region - this is a nice option! Round and creamy, lots of bright citrus and minerality. The salinity really brings it home.

Tasting through some Greeks…Bright. Lemons. Crushed shells, salt water. Sense of place.

Pale lemon color with aromas of citrus, floral and spicy earthy notes. On the palate flavors of stone and lemon citrus fruit with vivid acidity. Medium+ finish ending with fruit and an earthy mineral tang. Needs food to enjoy. Nice!

This is so good. A bit of butter underlying difinite minerality and Aegean salt. Smells like pineapple. Golden fruit. Red beach.

This is a delicious, crispy and salty wine. Perfect with the local food 😋
