Ghi kai Ouranos Xinomavro 2023

Lovely & enticing nose full of fresh red fruit - red berries, damson plum, a touch of cherry - paired with undergrowth / fresh tree bark. Fresh & juicy.
Medium bodied on the palate with juicy, fresh acidity and a frame of firm yet juicy & polished tannins. Red berries again with some darker notes (coffee? Dark cocoa powder? Dark nougat?).
Beautifully balanced with nice depth and quite some elegance.
Delicious, too.

Pangeon Assyrtiko Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Nicely aromatic, with grapefruit, a bit of lemon peel, some apricot and some grassy notes. Restrained and enticing.
On the palate this shows more with ripe white peach, grapefruit and some exotic notes. Nicely balanced & juicy with great flow, esp slightly over chilled.
Year in, year out a super safe bet when island hopping in the Cyclades and being at the mercy of local minimarkets.

A blend of 50% each Plavec and Vranec from a single vineyard in Macedonia.
Inky purple/black color. Nose is all brambles and leaf with a backing of spicy plum skin. Volume is large, texture is rich, oily and firming on the finish.
