Apostolos Thymiopoulos' Atma range (meaning 'soul') uses young grapes – here about 25% of tropical Malagousia to join Xinomavro from his biodynamic vineyards, a red grape unusually vinified as a white wine here. It's mineral and floral with a savoury, saline tang and vibrant acidity. Great mouthfeel, balance and price.
