  Wow! this smells just like a Hunter Semillon
  Limes and toast
  Plenty of acidity here, still razor sharp lemony fruit, so fresh, it is blossoming though with creamy/ toasty notes almost as if it's oaked (it isn't)
  Spectacular!

  At Milos in Miami, recommended by the somm. I don't have broad knowledge of Greek wines but always enjoy them...was looking to pair with grilled fish.
  
  Pale yellow color w/greenish tinge. Nose was citrus, orange peel. Rounded and fruity palate of citrus, lemon, apricot. Medium mouth feel and finish. Could have mistaken for a Sauvignon Blanc w fruitier profile. Excellent pairing for the fish/veggies and Greek salads. Would also make a good Summer aperitif

  While dining at a Milo's, a Greek restaurant on Miami Beach, I noted this bottle of Assyrtiko on the wine list ($65). When I find uncommon varietals, I like to try them.
  This wine is 100% tank fermented Assyrtiko and has a greenish yellow color and a nose of grapefruit and citrus. It is very fruity with tastes of gooseberry, grapefruit, and lemon. It also has a little bit of spicy ginger present, towards the finish. There is a taste of peach and apricot, which adds some sweetness, and buffers the tart citrus tastes. This wine has a rich mouthfeel and has adequate zesty acidity. It is medium bodied and balanced with a short to moderate finish. This Assyrtiko, from Pangeon, Macedonia, tastes somewhat like a Sauvignon Blanc. It is very food friendly and paired well with our Greek salad, octopus, and fish dishes.

  This wine is representative of the winery's house style and to many it is far from being a typical asyrtiko. Expressive nose of mango, passion fruit, ripe apricot and orange zest. Medium+ bodied with sweet fruit and balancing acidity. Med-long aftertaste. Very close to Ovilos. Tasted alongside the 2011 Sigalas Cavalieros, which represents a totally different style. Most voted for the latter but Areti received a satisfying number of votes too.
