Assyrtiko, French Oak Fermented
Manufacturer:
Sarah Jane Evans MW
Tasting: Greek Assyrtiko
Closed; slightly creamy and smoky aromatics. Bitterness of Assyrtiko predominates; oak adds tannic dryness to the wine. Hot and peppery on the finish.
Nico Manessis
Tasting: Greek Assyrtiko
Richly oaked style. Very much a food wine. Lacks the in-your-face minerality of the unoaked Santorinis.
Igor Sotric
Tasting: Greek Assyrtiko
Acacia and pinewood, green tones of apples and pears. Camomille, rosemary and thyme, structure and length.
