The 2022 Santorini Assyrtiko, the flagship 100% Assyrtiko (usually producing around
100,000 bottles), is unoaked and comes in at 14.5% alcohol. Ripe and dense, this is a big wine on the
palate, yet it is never overripe and it is sometimes stonewashed in demeanor. It shows good balance
while it coats the palate, and it finishes with great fruit supported by impressive structure. The main
flaw here is that this is underdeveloped and not yet fully expressive. That, of course, is something that
will only be fixed by a couple of years in the bottle. It should hold well after that. That's not to say you
can't drink it today. It is very good right now.
