The 2022 Malagouzia Turtles Vineyard is unoaked and dry and comes in at 12.97% alcohol. On the elegant and bright side this year—the 2022s seem to have good acidity and freshness—this still doesn't lack for concentration of flavor and mouth-coating texture. The pure pears and citrus notes combine to make this delectable even now. In bottle about four months when tasted, this does show some immaturity, and it will likely be better in the summer. It won't take long to come around, though, and it looks like another winner. This will hold a few years, but there is no real point to holding it too long. It will be great this summer, and I'd drink it then or in its first two or three years to take advantage of its exuberance, flavor and freshness. The questions about development tend to give these a bit of a ceiling. Still, it is worth noting that this 2022 was still vigorous and and not completely developed when retasted a couple of days later. It is just irresistible. Let's lean up a bit for the moment.

Pretty nose of peaches, honeysuckle, apples and lemons. Fruity, soft and medium-bodied, with sharp acidity and a refreshing finish. Vegan. Drink now.
Winery
100% Malagouzia, an ancient grape varietal producing highly aromatic wines with a round and soft palate. The wines are from P.G.I. Florina in north-west Greece. The grapes are destemmed and fermented in stainless steel under temperature control and aged 2 months on the lees. This wine is produced from estate owned vineyards at 690 m elevation on northwest facing vineyards.

Country: Greece

Thanks to thousands of years of viticulture, and a dedication to quality and experimentation, Greek wines remain in a league of their own and continue to surprise and delight wine lovers around the world. From the refined and delicious Agiorghitiko wines, with their deep ruby red color and intense fruit flavors, to the unusual and highly aromatic fortified wines made with the black Mavrodaphne grapes, Greek wine is renowned for its variety and consistent excellence. It seems the blazing Mediterranean sunshine allows wineries to make the most of the late harvests and all the intensity of flavor this brings, resulting in wines which are bursting with fruit-forward character and unusual aromas.
