There's an oily quality to this wine, in perfect counterpoint to the underlying minerality. Sideritis, an overlooked Greek variety often used for table grapes, can produce wines with a steely quality and spicy nuances, both of which are on show here. Partially fermented and aged in amphorae, there's a distinct purity to the lime zest, pear and lemon oil flavours. Enjoy with grilled sardines or fresh goat's cheese.
