The 2014 Assyrtiko, the regular, screwcapped mid-level bottling, comes in at 13.5% alcohol. It is unoaked and sourced from 70-year-old vines. Showing beautifully in its youth, it does what it usually does of late: be fresh, pure and clean, with good depth for its status and tension on the finish. This has become a solid and very focused bottling on a consistent basis, often showing more of that steel and minerality than the upper-level bottlings, although most certainly not their longevity or power. This projects that transparent, tank-aged purity that makes me want to lean up on it in its youth all the time these days, granting that it will not stay at peak as long as the big boys. Still, in the right moment and at the right time, this might be the better pick. The upper level bottlings here (with varying degrees of oak) will hold up better to stronger foods, but when people start talking about the minerality and purity on Santorini, this is a good one to try. You'll see what they mean. This is another fine vintage and it is not without some stuffing in its own right. It may last a bit better than I think, but let's take that in stages.

Country: Greece

It is almost impossible to understate the importance of local and regionally produced wines in Greek culture. Across the country, from the cities of the mainland to the villages, mountainous regions and islands, wine is produced using traditional methods and native grape varietals, and is drank in households and taverns, either accompanying the much loved local cuisine or alone as a refreshment under the blazing Mediterranean sunshine. For wine lovers around the world, Greece is known for producing several wines with something unique and interesting to offer, a refreshing change from the norm filled with surprises and complex, occasionally challenging or unusual flavors and aromas. Thanks to the vast range in terrain across the archipelago, Greek wine is as varied as it is delicious, meaning there is plenty to explore and enjoy from this fascinating and ancient country.
