What a nice surprise here, it is perfectly balanced wine with medium body firm but gentle, very delicious. In great condition now but surely will keep for 2-3 years.

My favourite style of wine. Sure its fat and in your face and similar to Te Koko, but the Assertyko adds more minerality. Probably needs a year to calm down a but. Te koko is best at around 7 years after the vintage and it will be interesting to see what develops here. Must remember to make this a regular purchase.

Exhuberant citrus nose, complex with aromatic herbs and stone fruit with judicious oak influence. Very powerful palate with high acidity, high extract and long fiinsh. Maybe a little too much of a good thing? Despite being so extrovert though it pairs very well with food. One of the top greek whites definitely.

Semillon 50%, Assyrtiko 50%. Tremendously well made and attractive white. Balanced, rich and long. Very good!
