Papagiannakos Old Vines Savatiano Greece White 2024
$35.00
Description
Fresh fennel and bright floral aromas lead onto a broad, peachy palate with an abundance of lemon and herbal characters. The wine is nicely textured with a crisp, citrus-tinged finish. This is mightily impressive in its youth. Textured and long on the finish, it has enough ripeness to deliver some flavor while remaining lively and refreshing. The structure lifts the fruit and allows it to linger. It's precise, clean and focused.
Of the '23: "Lemony gold in colour, the nose is exotic without being over the top, pineapple meets Golden Delicious apple with a flourish of fennel and anise-like spice. Generously textured with plenty of melon fruit and nectarine-stone bite with a lavish edge of pineapple to the finish, this is a plush yet vivacious glass of Greek excellence." 93 Points, Decanter Magazine
ABOUT PAPAGIANNAKOS WINERY
The Papagiannakos family have been involved in the Attica region since the 12th Century. It is in the last decades though, under the guidance of Vassilis Papagiannakos, that they have forged their own path, showing the world what the variety Savatiano is capable of. They have established themselves as a benchmark for the complete package, when it comes to the modern Greek wine industry. Their winery and grounds are immaculate, and the design of the facility is nothing short of first class, however it is also Vassilis’ understanding and commitment to the variety Savatiano and their consistent work at growing and producing the finest examples of indigenous varieties, such as Malagousia and Agiogitiko, that has stood them firmly at the forefront of the contemporary Greek wine industry.
