Pale gold and viscous white wine with sharp notes of lemon rind, grapefruit pith, and Granny Smith apple with hints of bell pepper, almonds, linseed oil… and call me crazy but I get a faint whiff of tire smoke in the bouquet. Lemon oil, grapefruit, and underripe peach with notes of almond oil, cold steel, and cave pebbles on the palate. It has a rather high alcohol for a white wine, which gives the body some heft. The finish is a bit short, but I find that a small complaint and imagine this unique wine from a windswept Greek island easily pairing with grilled veg or seafood.
