  Bright yellow with green flashes. Moderate viscosity. Fresh crispy aroma's of melon, passion fruit, jasmine Leaves, and orange. Playfull flavors of lemon, peach, and papaya. Charming simplicity with a light/medium body. Juicy and smooth texture. Pleasant finish.

  In the bouquet blossom and candy fruits. On the palate quite aromatic like Alsatian Pinot Gris and fresh grapes. Concentrated with a firm amount of sweetness, pear, honey, mango and a touch of mango. A very tasteful wine.

  If, like Michel Chapoutier often says, "fruit is to wine what disco is to music", then this is a Domma Summer of a wine: overly fruity, yet sexy, made to offer pleasure to the crowds. Certainly no terroir here, only fruit, fruit and fruit again. Best enjoyed on its own. Malagouzia and (very well hidden) assyrtico. Love to love you baby. Hot and fruity stuff indeed!

  One of the must-taste of the Summer. Light lemony colour and nose of crisp citrus fruit, lemon and lime as well as lime peel, together with green grassy aromas, hints of minerality and some tropical fruit. Balanced palate with fresh and slighlty green fruit, lime-peel bitterness and some sweeter more tropical fruit. Good intensity of flavours alhtough the wine does not lack subtleness and good finish. This wine never fails to satisfy although 2010 seemed to me slighlty sweeter on the palate than 2009.

  An interesting blend aimed to create a solid wine yet high in aromatics. The assyrtiko adds acidity and body like a chenin blanc while the malagouzia ( a very light grape but with lots of aromatics like a very light bodied gewurtzraminer) adds the aromatics. Very nice for a summery night however tips a bit too much on the sweet side. Light on the palate and van be enjoyed young.
