Pella, Greece
100% Assyrtiko
An assyrtiko like no other. Kept on the skins for over a week. Fermented and aged in used oak barrels, unfined, unfiltered and no added so2. This wine is deep and complex. Full bodied and full flavoured with notes of honey, spice, roasted nuts and delicate white florals. A truly exciting wine.
