This organic Halkidiki Greek white, made of 100% Assyrtiko grapes, has a pure and delicate bouquet of ripe citrus-lime and spring-blossom aromas. The palate is beautifully balanced with intense flavours, lovely juicy length and a zesty lime, mineral finish.
The vibrant flavours enhance the freshness of seafood and white fish, especially when served with citrus- or garlic-based sauces. Relatively high-acid foods, such as tomatoes, and vinegar-based dressings also make an appealing match. Or, it’s great on its own! Best served at 12° to 14° C. $14.95*
