Deep lemon with green tints. Upon opening you get a hit of smoke followed by a blast of ripe grapefruit, oaky vanilla, roast hazelnuts which all lessen with air. Then the wonderful aroma of ripe starkin apples, sun blasted rocks, salty breeze and a hint of herbs. Full bodied, starkin apples, grapefruit compote, lemon curd flavours cover the palate and there is a rich citrus and saline backbone filling out the edges. Full of flavour and razor sharp acidity to deal with any but the most delicate seafood. Also one of the few wines that will effortlessly match mageiritsa or Greek Easter offal soup.
