A $12 purchase. The white grape Debina and a small percentage of the red grape Vlahiko are given skin contact to create the color of this wine which was a medium yellow orange. A little more fizz than I expected. Notes of clay, peaches and some cherry with a slight oxidation on the finish. 86 points.

Orange blossom, funky aromas reminiscent of PVC/vinyl (from the skin contact I'm inferring), clove. A unique wine and one which alludes to what Greek winemaking was prior to the advent of temperature control, I suppose.

Made from Debina and Valhiko.
Skin-macerated PetNat. Brownish orange. Richness is nicely combined w. the acidity. Funky indeed.
My notes: Browned butter, plums, walnuts, mint, bitter orange, gasoline, biscuits, cola, raspberry lambic, grapefruits and clementine.

Unique. Dry, lean, low tannin, spritz that pours with a head, tart dried cherry, served with dessert. Went best with pecan pie and flan.
