Anatolikos Vineyards Malagousia Indigenous Yeast Avdira 2019 750 ML

The years may pass but old loves die hard. Having a sip from Fine Assyrtiko 2019 by Anatolikos Vineyards feels like the first time you tried it: impressive!nnFine Assyrtiko is far from Santorini, but apart from the Caldera, it doesn’t have much to envy. It is definitely one of those that have placed Anatolikos Vineyards and Nikolaidis brothers in the pantheon of Greek (and not only) wines and the most sought-after cellars.nnIn a blend that tends to become the most popular in Greece, Assyrtiko, and Malagouzia, two flagship Greek grape varieties meet once again (90% Assyrtiko – 10% Malagouzia). Assyrtiko adds intensity, structure, and charm. Malagouzia softens the blend and adds finesse and fruit. With fermentation with indigenous yeasts and maturation for six months in French oak barrels, on its fine lees, things get very interesting.nnFine Assyrtiko 2019 by Anatolikos Vineyards from Avdira, Thrace is the white wine that steals the show at international exhibitions and collects prizes wherever it is found. It’s fantastic now but in 5 years it will be even better.
