"Lemon blossom and lime followed by hints of red apple skin, showing a touch more ripeness. Elevated acidity, with citrus and red apple notes complemented by a hint of saltiness. A creamy core combines with a tangy texture. Youthful, with impressive length."

"A little riper-fruited than some versions of Santorini Assyrtiko, with herbal citrus notes, but also stony and subtle. Bone dry, chalky texture, super-fresh and firmly dry on the finish. As always, this is a very good mainland Assyrtiko with its own character – more fruity – but no loss of Assyrtiko's appeal. Long sour-fresh finish. (JH)"
