May 17, 2017 - Very good. 13.5% alc. Nice sharp textural wine that suited sardines. Fermented in French oak barrels, where kept for 6 months
Colour: bright clear light gold
Bouquet: pineapple fruit, citrus
Palate: pineapple, chalky texture, fruity but sharp and dry long finish. Good acid and balance. Quite full bodied and rich Viognier character, and full bodied, but very clean. .

October 22, 2014 - A bit on the young side and nneds time to evolve. Very nice to see that the oak is used in moderation, to add and not to dominate and the wine keeps all its acidity and minerality and has none of that overdone buttery-ness that makes other grapes ok but destroys the character of this beautiful grape that is assyrtiko. 90-91 for now but this will be a lot better in the future for sure
