That scent… dried yellow fruit, mesmerising coldness of quince and playful Mediterranean citrus. Grape, orange.
But the scent may be the least important.
The way the wine breathes evokes a different system of values. Which appreciates the ingredient, not molecular cuisine.
This is a modern wine, but not conventional. It asks what a Lumbarda Grk is really.
Fruit acids are quite stiff and in that sense very convincingly carry the wine in a sip that lingers and lingers, leaving only the sense of dryness, quality of extract. Saltiness.
It seems the 13.5% alcohol is a perfect balance, at least for 2015. Although good at any reasonable temperature of consummation, performs best when properly chilled.
