Let's
begin on a far away island in the southern
Aegean Sea, 120 miles from Athens, and is part of
the Cyclades group of islands, known for its
stunning caldera, which was formed by a massive
volcanic eruption around 3,600 years ago...another
hint?
The island is also positioned about 95 miles south of Mykonos and 85 miles north of Crete. Give up? Welcome
to Santorini!
You've just ordered dolmades and tzatziki along with an order of bougiourdi. What comes next is obvious. This wine:  A
quintessence wine from the island
First, flirtatious citrus on the nose with discrete floral aromas following close behind. There's a nice breeze of minerality along with a crisp acidity that merges with a zesty goodness. Layers of citrus and stone fruits emerge with a citrus/orchard fruit/salinity pack finish that almost (almost) overshadows the evening. Yes,
it is time for a long weekend in Santorini!
