Ligas 'Maison Viticole Ligas' Assyrtiko 2021

Pella, Greece

100% Assyrtiko

Somewhere between a white and an orange as the juice was kept on the skins for several days. Cloudy and textural as it is unfiltered. This wine is a great introduction to those who wish to try a 'natural' or 'unfiltered' orange or white wine as it has just a touch of tannin and it is super clean and very drinkable. 

Emily says: "This is a wine for many moments, due to the low alcohol and fresh acidity and clean flavours, it works great for brunch, dinner or late night drinks"
