2008 Amethystos White, Makedonia (750ml)

Winemakers note: This blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc with 15% Semillon and 15% Asyrtiko is slightly green at first, also in color. There are no tropical leanings here, with balance from the Semillon, but no invasive syrup. This wine has plenty of body and structure, more skin extract than overt fruit, a long finish. It is a distinct and modern wine, peachy and aromatic.
