Wine Review: This light straw colored Assyrtiko opens with a Granny Smith apple and Bosc pear bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a mineral infused Granny Smith apple and lime blend with hints of yellow grapefruit and a dash of white pepper. The finish is dry and refreshing. The Assyrtiko from Santorini would pair perfectly with oysters. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Straw blonde color, with light shades of green and a subtle nose of citrus fruit. Excellent structure with a depth of flavor and an acidity which brings the flavors to the fore and adds freshness, with a lasting after-taste. Has the characteristic mineral taste, typical of the variety and the soil of Santorini- at its very best. Serve with fish and white meat with light sauces.
