I have the highest respect for this co-op which represents close to 1000 growers, as it always turns out bang-for-the-buck wines. But now they have taken it to the next level with the introduction of this beauty, which blew me away! From 100-year-old vines and aged in partial new oak, it features a golden colour and a huge bouquet of toast, peach, bay leaf, honey, golden apple, spice, resin and white flowers. The same flows over onto the taste buds where Assyrtiko’s telltale crystalline/saline acidity carries the long finale. A wild ride in the best possible sense!
