Blend of 85% Assyrtiko, 10% Athiri, and 5% Aidani from 50 year-old vines that was matured for 6 months in French oak vats. The fresh, medium-high to highly aromatic nose delivers smoky, stony mineral, herbs, and lemon/lime citrus notes. It's medium-full bodied with bright acidity and very nice aroma replays on the dry flavour profile with pleasing smoky mineral flavours. It has a very nicely textured mouthfeel, while smoky and salty mineral notes linger on the finish, with excellent length. Tasted May 2023.
