Tasting Notes

White flowers, oyster shells, and lemon zest on the nose lead to a rich, textured, full-bodied Assyrtiko dancing with acid and salinity from start to finish. Breadth and depth derive from 200-year-old vine material as well as 10 months in stainless steel on the fine lees. A long, rewarding finish ends with hints of dried yarrow and coriander. A stunning example of the enduring promise of Santorini.
