WINE DESCRIPTION
From one of Greece's most respected wine estates, Costa Lazaridi's Amethystos Blanc offers a captivating blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, and the indigenous Assyrtiko grape. Grown in the Drama region in Northern Greece, the vineyards benefit from a unique terroir of sandy, clay soils and a Mediterranean climate with continental influences. This meticulously crafted white wine is aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve its natural fruitiness and vibrant acidity. The Amethystos Blanc showcases the harmonious marriage of international varietals with local grapes, resulting in a wine that is both complex and refreshing.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
In the glass, Costa Lazaridi Amethystos Blanc presents a bright, straw-yellow color with greenish tints.The nose is a bouquet of fragrant aromas, featuring notes of ripe citrus, tropical fruits, and a hint of white flowers. On the palate, the wine is beautifully balanced, offering flavors of lemon zest, green apple, and pineapple, underpinned by mineral nuances and a touch of herbal complexity. The acidity is crisp, providing a zesty liveliness that complements the fruit-forward profile. The finish is clean and long-lasting, leaving a refreshing aftertaste that invites another sip. This is a white wine that elegantly represents the diversity and richness of Greek winemaking.
