Rouvalis 2022 Assyrtiko 750ml

Grown high up at 750 metres on the northern Peloponnese, the grapes are crushed and fermented low and slow. The wine is aged on the lees in stainless steel and only gravity flow is used to move the wine. A delightfully complex assyrtiko is the result, notes of lemon and orange blossom with a vinous minerality. Very restrained, but the palate is assaulted by saline minerality every bit as good as the best Santorini Assyrtikos. The extra 12 months of maturing on the lees only adds to this superb, dry, tangy flavour bomb. The balancing acidity and low alcohol only adds to its stature.
