Santorini Assyrtiko 2011, Pdo Santorini, Greece




This wine made on the beautiful island of Santorini is 100% Assyrtiko grapes, produced by Santos Wines, which is a joint venture of Santorini Cooperatives with alcohol at 13.5%. 

Bright yellow in color this wine opened up with aromas of ripe apple, pears, citrus fruit, light floral and a stony minerality nose. On the mouthfeel, medium bodied, bone dry, mineral driven with a complex sweet and sour fruit flavours and a lively acidity. This wine finish is clean, refreshing with loads of energy with flavours of grapefruit and a touch of honey. Here is a wine with tonnes of personality, great value and strongly recommended. Score 90 points. 

Purchased January 5, 2013 LCBO Vintages New Release (627760) at $16.95
