Soft white florals and juicy peaches in cream on the nose. Medium body, juicy lemon sherbert and apricot flesh with a moderate acidity making this rather fun and easy drinking on its own. There's a wonderful soft texture from lees ageing and long crisp finish. The grapes for this wine are sourced from 7 blocks of 50 year old, low-yielding, unirrigated Savatiano vines in Markopoulo. They grow in limestone soil, on gentle north-facing slopes, at just 100m altitude. Hand-harvested in mid-September, followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 17°C for around 20 days.
