Notes

An elegant wine with balance and complexity between the minerality of Assyrtiko, structure, and layers from the oak component. Despite the criticism of the use of oak in Assyrtiko, Alcyone shows that if used properly it adds complexity and richness resulting in a perfectly balanced wine with a long ageing potential.

Vinification & Elevage:
A 100% Assyrtiko wine made from hand picked grapes from three vineyard plots. Whole cluster pressed and fermented in oak vats & 500 liters barrels. Following four months of battonage the wine matures on its lees. After bottling, Alcyone rests in our cellars for 7 more months before release.

Colour: Gold, green tints

Nose: Rich and complex, notes of orange, lemon, and other citrus fruits, hints of figs, flint stone, vanilla, toast, and saline.

Taste: Salt, citrus, mushrooms, primary fruit, mouthwatering acidity, structured and concentrated, full-bodied, well-balanced minerality, very intense and long after taste.

Pairing Suggestions: Grilled fish, white meat (chicken and pork) cooked with white sauce, and hard cheeses. Best served at 10 – 11°C.

Tip: The shipping cost per bottle drops significantly the more bottles you buy. Join forces with friends and family to buy more bottles and bring the cost down.
