New listing. Native Greek white varieties often have a high-acid, stony, dry character. This particular wine is not the most vibrant example of these characteristics, but it catches the spirit with grapefruit, wet stone and fine dried herb. There is a touch of browning apple oxidation as well. The wine is mid-weight, warm and very mineral, with good length.
