Outstanding, this wine has so much more than simply being sweet. Piney and resinous, it fluctuates between flavors of sugar dusted dried apricots, candied lemons, marzipan, and honeycomb with pine sap, pollen, chaparral, white balsamic, mint and blanched herbs adding a more savory complexity. Unctuous and long. 80% Assyrtiko, 10% Aidani, 10% Athiri.

On the nose it's chalk, orange blossom and lime. Medium + acid on the palette, refreshing citrus and stone fruit flavors. Crisp, mean and clean. Medium acid on the finish. Great fish wine. Will cut fat while having something to say. — 9 years ago

A beautifully soft, inviting expression of Santorini, this blend of the island's three core white grape varieties gains further polish through its ageing in French oak barrels. Salty with a long, nervy finish - it imitates so much of the island in its sea spray, oyster shell, pressed wildflowers, green olives, and ripe pear skin tones. Fresh and absolutelylovely. 75% Assyrtiko, 15% Athiri and 10% Aïdani. — 8 years ago

Med lemon.
Clean youthful aromas with med intensity of lemon, honey, stone, jasmine.
Appealing dry palate, med+ bright acidity, high but well integrated alcohol, full body, pronounced intensity.
Long acid stone finish.
Very good wine, a blend loaded with the wonders of santorini: minerality and acidity. Mineral character, can drink now, suitable for further aging.

Made from sun dried Assyrtiko grapes, aged in old French oak casks for over a decade. The wine is riddled with volatile acidity, not surprising considering the production methods - and while that overwhelms the nose, it adds so much ethereal brightness to the palate. Prunes, lemon extract, fig, molasses, sweet medicinal herbs, wintergreen, quinine, pine sap, and dried flowers. Viscous, yet focused and expansive. 90% Assyrtiko, 5% Aidani, 5% Athiri.

From the southeastern edge of Greece, Rhodes is well known as a gifted corner of the Mediterranean in term of viticulture. This "Knight's Island" is a blend of Athiri, Assyrtiko and Sauvignon Blanc. 11.5% Vol, this wine combines a floral and fruity profile with apricot and a touch of lemon. The balance is right as the SB doesn't over-powering but leave the other grapes to express themselves. Versatile in style, intriguing at first but very satisfying. Try if you find any as well as their Sparkling, Muscat or Cabernet Sauvignon. — 10 years ago

This was bangin! Lots of saltiness. And hints of honey. Not as crisp and lemony as most Assyrtiko wines. Lots more depth and intricacies. 80% Assyrtiko, 10% Aidani, and 10% Athiri — 4 years ago
