The Forgotten Region…

Santorini is made from the Assyrtiko grape, indigenent to Santorini (one of the Greek islands). This is widely planted in the arid volcanic-ash rich soil. On the nose a big juicy pear hit me with some nice light citrus. As it opened up I noticed some chalky minerality. But on the palate was some sweet lemon teamed up with a delicious richness and balanced acidity. This had such a good velvety mouth feel playing with my taste buds. The finish was long with floral accents. I kept going back for another taste!
It would be a crime to let this bottle (and other Greek wine) collect dust! Grab a bottle for under $20 and tell me what you think!
Sláinte!
