"The Alpha Estate 2023 Assyrtiko Ecosystem Aghia Kiriaki (in a heavy glass bottle) is a true beauty, offering yet another very compelling argument for Assyrtiko as one of the great grapes of Greece and the world. It offers a complex bouquet of lemon, tangerine and something very chiseled and sharp like shards of limestone. It is sweet and salty at the same time. I also get a green leafy note and white flower. This wine shows structure, firmness and pretty acidity. A sweet note of key lime pie is very distinctive on the close. The Florina appellation has well-draining alluvial sand and sandy clay soils. Fruit comes from a 2.45-hectare site at a breezy 535 meters above sea level. Winemaking in stainless steel sees eight months of sur lies aging and stirring."

"This medium-bodied white has excellent freshness. Notes of lemons, salted olives, Asian pears and seashells are accompanied by crisp acidity. Dry, mineral finish. Vegan. Drink now."

"Sleek and fragrant, with petrol, pine and juniper berry notes accenting the flavors of pink grapefruit fruit, Meyer lemon peel, blood orange granita and white pepper as they expand through the mouthwatering finish. - AN"
