Mystirio 2020

Decanter score (93) tasted by MW Steven Spurrier 

This is the first and only orange wine made on the island of Santorini in Greece. The wine spends about 15-20 days on its skins macerating and subsequently ages for 10 months on its lees, prior to release. This is amongst the fullest bodied styles of oranges wines out there with a slight tannic grip but still beautifully fresh.

Can be served at 13-15°C in an big glass of Riesling type , highlighting a wide variety of dishes; particularly due to its orange nature and to the presence of soft tannins it is a match with fish, as good as with meat.

Intense and matured gruyere cheese, first class fish like grouper and dentex, lamb in the oven or ribs. Without any doubt another excellent pairings are with pork dishes, with various ethnic dishes like curry chicken and also with the spicy Moroccan cuisine. 

Serving and food pairing: Decanting is necessary for at least an hour, in order to breath and open up its complicated character. 

Assyrtiko 100%

Single centenarian vineyard of Assyrtico located in one of the best terroir of Santorini, in Pyrgos.

Intense nose, special, revealing another aspect of Santorini's character. Herbal notes like chamomile, peppermint and black tea and spices like cardamom and coriander are perceived first. Mineral notes and fruity hints of pear and bergamot, indicate directly its origin. Structured and generous mouthfeel with firm tannins balanced by the richness and the volume of the wine. Long aftertaste with salinity and a spicy finish. 

We don’t know exactly yet due to the nature of the wine and the fact that it's just the first vintage. Based on what we taste, we consider that under good storage conditions the wine can develop a unique character for the next 5 years.
