April 7, 2024 - Trying out the new vintage of Als next to the new Vassaltis. Both made by the Vassaltis winemaker, but this his personal side project.
I’ve long been a fan but the Als seems to be getting more refined every vintage.
Creamy. Squeezed lemon, white peach, apple, chamomile, green tea, herb, and salty ocean breeze. Loads of minerality. High acidity but so well integrated you hardly notice it. This seems to have more aromatic intensity and palate weight than what I recall from the 2020.
This is so different from what you’d typically expect from a Santorini Assyrtiko, yet so good. This is a whole new face of Santorini and I love it. Altogether a much more serious wine. -
