From 80 year old ungrafted vines, this is a remarkable wine with powerful, mineral lime curd and salty lemon rind fruit. It has amazing texture and a bit of structure, too, with a real saline intensity. Youthful and tight, with great concentration of flavour, this oozes minerality. There&#8217;s a lot of fruit, but it&#8217;s not really about the fruit at all. Quite profound. 95\/100 (UK agent Hallgarten Novum)<\/p>\n<p>Find this wine with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Santorini, the well known Greek island, is famous for its Assyrtiko wines, made from vines grown with one of the most distinctive viticultural methods out there (the Santorini &#8216;kouloura&#8217;).
