The 2014 Assyrtiko A is unoaked and comes in at 13.5% alcohol. Odd though it may seem, I've been liking the winery's Santorini (a blend) a bit more than the one they call "Assyrtiko A," all Assyrtiko. Granting that they are presented in different vintages and at different ages, this is a bit closer this year. It has less personality, but a lot more substance. Beautifully textured, this has a viscous feel on the palate and it lingers beautifully. Understated but very persistent, this is in a fine place just now, subtly intense and full of fine fruit. It should hang on nicely for several years.

Country: Greece

As one of the oldest wine producing countries in the world, Greece has millenia of experience and expertise when it comes to viticulture, and has developed a set of flavors and characteristics which are found nowhere else on earth. The ancient Greeks revered and deified wine, and were the first true innovators in the history of wine, adding everything from seawater to honey and spices in order to find exciting new taste combinations and aromas. Today, Greek wines are just as varied, although far more refined and sophisticated than their ancient counterparts. The practice of enhancing Greek wines with aromatic substances never left the country, though, as can be seen in the popular Retsina wines, which use pine resin to provide their unique taste and aroma combinations. There is far more to Greek wine than merely Retsina, however, and the vast variety on offer is a testament to the expertise of Greek wineries making the most of the wonderful climate, terrain and grape varietals they work with.
