Product notes

An Assyrtiko wine with intense character produced from young vines growing in the mountainous vineyards of Amyndeon

Production notes

The grapes are cooled overnight and cold macerated to maximize aroma extraction. At the end of fermentation, the wine ages for 4-5 months on its lees to provide volume and complexity.

Tasting notes

On the nose the wine presents aromas of white fruits and flowers. On the palate, the acidity of the citrus fruits balances with the alcohol and the roundness of the wine and ends with a lingering, saline aftertaste. Pairings with fried squid and grilled fish.

(Vintage 2022)

Lemon blossoms and stony minerality dominate the nose. Moderately complex in the mouth with notes of stone fruit and grapefruit.

Julia Harding, (Vintage 2022)

Markedly mineral compared with some mainland Assyrtiko. Tight and very precise, focused wine with a long, tailored finish. Impressive, the long tail emphasising that mineral character even though there's bright citrus at the core.
