Written Notes

Full bottle 1,311 g. Vegan-friendly. Dry-farmed in Panorama, central Crete, at 610 m. TA 5.1 g/l, pH 3.33. Macerated on skins for 12 hours then spontaneously fermented in new and 3-year-old French oak. Malo and a further three months in barrel.
Creamy, lightly spicy, stony citrus and pear with a lovely tangy citrus top note. Melon, too. The oak notes are subtle but add complexity and texture to the already complex fruit flavours. The oak is more evident on the palate in spice, hazelnut and a creamy roundness to balance the acidity. A multi-faceted and complete wine with great length. Shows the potential of this indigenous variety in the right hands. Delicious, persistent and likely to age well. A fine wine
