Vintage 2016 / Biowine. LimNeon is said to be the oldest known grapevariety of Greece. Half transparant colour. Lots and lots of fruit in this fruit-druiven wine: cherries, cassis, plums. It is a sheer pleasure to enjoy this wine. Very far in the distance some resemblance to Beaujolais. / Paired with pork cutlet (schnitzel), carrots and Opperdoezer Ronde potatoes — 6 years ago
From the only winery on Skiathos, a very pale Provence style rosé made 50/50 from Limnio/Xynomavro - fresh, crisp, with just a hint of red fruit over the fresh melon, underripe peach and dried herbs. Juicy acidity, barely a hint of tannin, and surprisingly good depth & length.
Delicious drinking! — 2 years ago
Super funky nose, but taste does not match! Lush blackberries, herbs and eucalyptus, twigs! It’s Greek @Ryan Colthorp — 6 years ago
A v. fruity, light summer red with some crunch. 50/50 Limnio / Xynomavro.
Strawberry compote! Plus morello cherry, mulberry, with some pomegranate & a whiff of hibiscus.
Brilliantly juicy with bright fruity acidity followed by juicy, crunchy tannins.
Vibrant, fresh, so juicy with a bit of bitter almond toward the finish.
V. Interesting, must be served chilled. — 2 years ago

Sixth and last bottle of our Greece exploration. Mount Athos region and Cab Sauv/Limnio blend. Terrific wine, delivering exactly what I was missing in the 100% Limnio. Fruit forward, quite tannic and lots of drinking pleasure. Greece has certainly got a spot in my drinking preference. Next step: the higher end wines from Greece! — 6 years ago

Very easy drinking. Perfect for a hot, sunny day at the beach or near any body of water. Taste reminds me of a reality never known. The faint grasping at a distant memory. So deliciously fragrant on the nose. The palate opens up quickly to the greeting of smooth velvety red fruits, soon followed by a lemony zestful bitterness. The slightly tannic bitterness slumbers on the palate much longer than the silky suede seduction of cherry and Granny Smith. It dares you to take another sip, to revisit the memory before the bitterness set in. This push and pull makes for a delicious bottle that goes down quicker than you’d like. Soon the bottle is empty and you’re left with only the memory. Like a long day at the beach, you want to live in that moment forever, because you know that at the end of it, you’re left sandy, salt licked, and sun scorched. The greed of the moment is rarely a fair opponent.
Nose: pear, raspberry, overripe strawberry, lemon zest, thyme
Taste: lemon, quince, cherry, Granny Smith, medium body, low-medium tannin, medium acid. — 15 days ago
