Wine Expert Note:

This wine is a classic benchmark of the Assyrtiko and its homeland. A vibrant aromatic cocktail of sea-breeze freshness, minerality, citrus fruits, and honeyed undertones. Bone-dry, brightly acidic with a textural mineral smokiness and a food-begging finish. Drink now, or age for up to 10 years.
