(2022) A truly lovely example of Assyrtiko from the island of Santorini, this zips along with fabulous alacrity, combining juicy fresh-squeezed lemon and shimmering saltiness, with some delicate herb and flower nuances. Balanced and long, intense and delightfully crisp, there is pleasing ripe fruit, but tightly wound into the finish. From 50-year-old vines, this has a natural sense of concentration somehow allied to weightlessness, and is a truly lovely example. Watch the video for more information and food-matching ideas.
Good to hear you enjoyed this, Tom. It’s become something of a house favourite chez nous! Such fabulous character and depth for the money.
Cheers Will. At sub-£15 it is one of the nicest white wines I have had for some time: terrific balance of pleasurable approachability and complex character.
