50% Assyrtiko; 50% Monemvasia — 3 years ago
90y old, nongrafted, high altitude Monemvasia, natural yeast, aged 6m in the lees.
This is quite complex & elegant, less obvious. White pear, a touch of dried orange peel and underripe apricot.
Good concentration on the palate with great depth. Salty, mineral, intense, savoury. This has loads of interesting edges & personality. Def. needs more time but this is really good. — 3 years ago

Low-medium tannin, acidity could be brighter, but altogether lovely and complex. Could do with some age, though — 2 years ago

色は少しオレンジがかっていた。2006年だから? — 2 years ago
Old vine Monemvasia from their Estate vineyard. 20% fermented & aged in new French barriques with regular batonnage, 80% stainless steel, 6m on the lees.
Ripe with ripe lemons & lemon peel, jasmine, white pear and vineyard peach. Lovely presence on the palate, with vibrant acidity and nice depth. Elegant in its savoury, herby, mineral core. A salty edge towards the long finish.
The 5y showing off nicely and the oak seamlessly integrated. This is a lovely, complete wine. — 3 years ago
