{screwcap, 12.5%} Light yellow. Fresh nose, a little developed, with aromas of apricot, stainless steel and crushed sandstone. The oak-free palate is medium/full-bodied, despite its limpid luminosity; it has an odd sweet character which reminds me of viognier. It's become increasingly broad as it sits in the glass over 90 minutes or so; it's quite powerful; dry, with an even palate; perhaps it just becomes a bit monochromatically grey with time. Still, interesting; I gather the Assyrtiko helps bolster the rather low acid nature of the Malagousia. The screwcap has undoubtedly helped; although I don't think this is a wine built for aging by any means. Pleasant wine, ready to drink now.

Lively yellow color and, fresh and riesling-like aromas comes straight after opening. The two local grapes are absolutely top form here with this wine. At first was a bit skeptic considering the price, but it worth every penny. Light bodied with sharp acidity - the only low point that is with the finish, that comes a bit short. Nonetheless great effort, definitely will buy again.

2013 Sailing Trip in the Dodecanese; 7/12/2013-7/21/2013 (Athens & The Dodecanese): A good marriage of Malagouzia (fruity, light, aromatic) and assyrtiko (firm, sharp with good acidity) among the best the country has to offer. Starts of on the malagouzia side and then a quarter of the way on the palate the assyrtiko kicks into gear. Pretty solid wine, full of typicity and character. Nice with food but also as a leisurly apreritif. 87-89
