Aromatic & expressive - somewhere between an evolved Nebbiolo and a Lacryma - violets & wilted roses, dusted cherries, a hint of vanilla & cinnamon, sweet yet austere, ripe yet fresh. Intriguing.
Juicy cherry acidity, dry, dusty, savoury tannins, fairly light on the palate yet worth a strong presence. Perhaps a touch too sweet, but this is a really nice wine.

Enticing nose of prunes and leather. Nice deep flavor for the fruit with a bit of animal funk. Chewy tannins. As it opens up in the glass, the mature notes come on—more leather, olive, nice mushroom, all together in a long finish. A really lovely work from northern Greece. I grabbed it randomly on Election Night and just couldn’t focus enough to even taste it. But now I’m loving the leftover bottle! ✅🌊 — 5 years ago
OKH. Full bodied and complex.
MInimus Assyrtiko appears cloudy gold colour in the glass. Lime citrus, white peach, green apple and honey nose. The aromas follow through to a full-bodied and dry palate that has a round mouthfeel, high acidity and long lasting finish.
100% Assyrtiko. The fruit comes from the protected geographical indication (PGI) slopes of Paiko. The organically cultivated vineyard in Fyliria, which is in the winegrowing region of Goumenissa, has a linear layout and medium textured sandy clay soils.
Careful hand selection and gentle crushing of the grapes before they undergo a 2-day cold maceration. Separation of the skins from juice, then spontaneous fermentation and 3 months ageing in 6-years-old French oak barrels with no additives, fining or filtration. Very low sulfur levels added before bottling. 6 months ageing in bottle before release. — a year ago
