Avantis Dolphins Santorini 2013
Aegean Islands - Santorini, The Islands, GreeceSantorini's crisp and shining assyrtiko is honey and lees slicked with a couple of years in the bottle, giving it a medicinal-tinged lemon thistle note. Hay, wild herbs, fine spice, flake salts fill the palate, but a piercing linear acidity carries all to a lingering, briny finish. The family farms 20 HA in the Afrati region in central Euboa, ranging from 250-500m and on clay, gravel, sand soils.Tasted: 08 May 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:CDN | $20.00 | 750ml | estimated price on wine searcher |
