T-Oinos Clos Stegasta Assyrtiko 2017
The iconic T-Oinos Clos Stegasta Assyrtiko is sourced from the organically farmed Clos Stegasta vineyard planted on the Greek island of Tinos. Here, in the past, access to the land to carry the grapes away was difficult, so grapes were pressed on site, in hand built sheltered wine presses to protect from the extreme winds...which is where the place name "Stegasta" originates. Clear, bold citrus fruits, dried herbs and a hint of pineapple. The palate grips you with firm, stimulating acidity and salty, gentle tannins. The finish is long and develops excellently in the glass.
