The 2020 Savatiano Old Vines is unoaked and comes in at 12.5% alcohol. Solid for the grape and the fresh style, this shows off good concentration while remaining elegant. It does show a burst of flavor and it lingers nicely on the finish. This grape is sometimes a bit bland, leaning to neutral, but this has some personality, relatively speaking of course. Compared to its younger sibling, the 2021 in this report, this might not be quite as zesty, but it has a fruitier demeanor. Of the winery's Savatianos in this report, this is the one I'd take, especially today. It has the advantage of a little more bottle age compared to the 2021. This can age a bit, perhaps better than indicated. It is in a great place now, though, so that's a hint. Sourced from 50+-year-old vines in the Attica area, there were 156,000 bottles produced. ...

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.
