(Mercouri Estate Kallisto, VdP Ilia) 85% Assyrtiko, 15% Robola. A highly aromatic white that shows both floral notes and warm citrus aromas such as red grapefruit and pineapple. An initial hint of pinesap gives way to an almost seaweed-like brininess. On the palate, the wine is simultaneously mouthfilling and bracing. Terroir: Domaine Mercouri
