The 2018 Kavalieros is all unoaked Assyrtiko, dry (2.8 grams of residual sugar and 6.4 of total acidity) and coming in at 14.5% alcohol. This is a single-vineyard Assyrtiko whose name means "on top," meaning that the winery believes this vineyard in Imerovigli is one of the best vineyards in one of the best sub-appellations. Textured, ripe and yet gorgeously structured—never seeming overripe!—this has a long finish and seems full-bodied. It coats the palate. It's dry and serious, with the acidity controlled but with enough left to keep the big fruit fresh. It might be lacking a bit of focus this year, but it shows well. It certainly benefits from the extra year of development it acquired as a later release. The price has gotten pricey, but this is one of the island's great labels these days. This does better than the regular Sigalas Santorini this issue for drinking now, thanks to the late release. Expect it to age well, although it is drinking pretty well now. ... More details

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.
