Assyrtiko Argyros

Region: Santorini, Greece

My Tasting Notes: This is a dry white and acidic yet balanced. Yellow in color, slightly citrusey tones and is crisp and fresh.
My Verdict: At first I was a little hesitant about Greek whites...but this is no Mediterranean table white. I've tried a white from Santorini before and this one is much better. This grape is different, but in a good way... It will impress anyone with a refined wine palate and makes an excellent summer drink.
