Review

"I have quite a few Greek wines to review, and much like the wines from Portugal, I think they are excellent and maybe a little under appreciated in this country? This sees no oak; stainless steel only. Importer: Déjà Vu Wine Company. Medium-bodied, classic dried herb, tomato paste, sappy red fruits, raspberry, a little earthy with it. Silty tannin, rhubarb and spice, kind of autumnal too, fleshy and unforced feel, some orange peel, liquorice, and a long and savoury finish. So much character and interest. Pinot-like in a way, and wonderful to drink. I love it."
