Assyrtiko 2021
ASLANIS FAMILY WINERY | NEA MICHANIONA
This wine combines lemony freshness with herbal and spicy notes reflecting its terroir and the care of the winemaker. Low-yielding, non irrigated vines produce a tasty, complex and focused wine with a saltiness that calls to mind an Aegean Sea breeze.
Andromachi’s Tasting Notes
Aromas of dried citrus, bergamot peel, sweet honey with some vanilla and mineral notes. On the palate, a fresh attack, a mentholated touch followed by a discreetly spicy finish. Ageing for about three months on fine lees in French oak barrels adds richness and a long aftertaste.
