12% floral, light and refreshing, delicate and elegant, somewhat tropical with pineapple fruit, it's like a low key Gewürztraminer crossed with Chardonnay, just a touch of caramel on the finish
Pre-phylloxera vines. Big and powerful, golden and rich, it's not subtle, smokey, minerally nose, concentrated and long. 15%. It needs some time, at least 5 years, to settle down but will never be subtle
Light bidy, slightly like Nebbiolo, mineral, plenty of acid, good finish, plenty of very fine tannins, give this a little time, I quite liked this wine
8% Syrah with xinomavro. Older vines of around 60 years. Plenty on the nose, mid weight, medium light bodied, chunkier tannins, needs plenty of time to soften and integrate.

Organic grapes and made with wild yeasts. Delicate slightly floral nose and palate, subtlety flavoured, crisp, clean and pretty decent

18 months in French oak. Cherry and vanilla on the nose, good fruit and a decent finish, needs plenty of time, and then food.
