wine review

More complex than you might expect for the money, this is a glorious white from a country better known for simple summer quaffers. Though lean, it carries more weight than most of its kin, with a lemon-like essence and subtle overtones, suggesting mineral and salty sea air. Sip it slowly and attentively, and this assyrtiko will pay big dividends. Try it with grilled or sautéed shellfish.
