Zacharias Vineyards
Assyrtiko
Peloponnisos, Greece
That's an easy going, somewhat creamy assyrtiko. The nose is typical with honey, chalk, melon, a bit of a citrusy, lemony thing too. The palate is more joyful and easy going than what I expected. I wanted more acid drive. It's still very well made with some nice honeyed touches all along the acid drive, some great width and some matter. It's not your simple, easy to sip, Pinot grigio, that's for sure ! There is a significant large mid palate, powering some grip and making way to a nice, long, grippy, zesty and honeyed finish that goes on for a very long while. Not the greatest assyrtiko I've had but definitely worth a sip and a nice rating.
