This cuvée breaks new ground with its use of an indigenous grape variety, Assyrtiko. Its aromatic nose reveals notes of coconut and flint. The palate is full-bodied, perfectly balanced between richness and liveliness, reminiscent of crisp berries. The finish is tense and elegant. A stylish cuvée for wine adventurers!

About the estate:
(The Best Wines of Greece) Lean Karatsalos and Yannis Paraskevopoulos run this estate, which was established in 1994 and is considered one of the most promising in Greece. Production here is divided between two wine-growing areas. One is in the Cyclades, on the island of Santorini, in the Episkopi area, producing a white wine made from Assyrtiko grapes. This volcanic island allows this local grape variety, which is very fruity in its youth, to gain minerality with age. The other is in the Peloponnese, in Koutsi, a small village where the estate established its winery in 1997. In this region, in the heart of the Nemea appellation, it produces local white and red wines, always made from indigenous grape varieties such as Rhoditis and Moshofilero, with pink berries, and Aghiorghitiko or Saint Georges, with small black grapes.

Note and opinion by Mr. FREDERIC B. Published on 04/18/2020
Drunk in April 2020. Very dry on the palate but with good length. Pair with very dry goat's cheeses.
