lpha Estate, Ecosystem Assyrtiko Single Vineyard Aghia Kiriaki – 2023, Macedonia

The wine has a beautiful straw color. The first nose is fresh and fruity, subtle and delicious with notes of tropical fruits and citrus fruits such as passion fruit, mango, and grapefruit. There is a slight creaminess. It is a lovely basket of fruits with a nice mineral freshness. The second nose is mineral, petrol/flint. There are hints of pineapple and a lovely vegetal note of mint. The palate is fresh, fruity with good acidity and a fine smoothness. There are touches of lemon juice as well as juicy white peach. There is a salinity at the end of the palate that accompanies a discreet hint of petrol. It is fine and has a nice tension that brings straightness and length. The finish is persistent, with apricot kernel notes and a hint of tannin.
