Tasting notes
Traditionally Assyrtiko and a dash of Aidani and Athiri grapes were pressed
the night after their harvest in order to give the famous Nykteri (stands for
staying up all night) wine.
A clear lemon color of medium intensity. Expressive flowery aromas of jasmine
on the nose, along with citrus and green fruits, such as green apple and pear
on a vanilla background. On the palate it is dry, with crispy-refreshing acidity,
in great balance with the delicate floral and fruity flavors. Just an elegant touch
of oak, contributes to the overall balance. Long and pleasant aftertaste.
