[SOLD-OUT] Hatzidakis Santorini Assyrtiko 2014

eRobertParker.com 91 points!
“The 2014 Santorini is all Assyrtiko and comes in at 13.8% alcohol. Sunny and graceful on opening, this is the lighter-styled, regular Assyrtiko from Hatzidakis, showing less concentration and power, but a lot of elegance. That's relatively speaking. It still has a fair bit of power and its expressive fruit is lovely. It finishes with a bang as it airs and warms, showing more power than I thought it had at first.”

“Orange and floral aromas, a clean and brisk attack. Bright acidity, smooth texture and herbal touches. Despite warmth on the finish, the acidity mostly balances the wine. Has an iodine feel on the finish, which is tasty, savoury and long. Seafood certainly.”

“Strong green leafy aspects on the nose. Creamy texture. Racy and super tense. Really well put together. Great polish and verve.

 Direct separation of must from grapes, clarification and fermentation with indigenous yeasts at 18 °C. Stay with the Lees for 40 days. Maturation in stainless steel tanks. Soft yellow colour with golden shades and delicate aromas of citrus, white flowers and minerality. Full and aromatic on the palate with an intensive mineral character.

Long aftertaste with a certain freshness coming from the crunching acidity of the wine, which is typical of the vineyards of Santorini. A versatile wine, matching seafood, oily fish e.g. salmon and shellfish, yellow cheese, chicken, pork and a variety of dishes, even tomato and asparagus. Served at 12-14˚C. Potential aging in the bottle for at least 5 years.
