92 points Mark Squires (Wine Advocate): "The 2019 Santorini (Canava Chrissou) Vieilles Vignes (meaning centenarian vines from Akrotiri, Megalohori and Emporeion) is all Assyrtiko, unoaked and coming in at 13.8% alcohol. Bright and perky, this has a fresh feel with a touch of what people like to call saline. The brightness makes it seem rather lively and transparent. Notwithstanding the fresh feel, the concentration is good and it always remains in fine balance. There is some tension on the clean finish as well as flavor. Nothing hits you over the head here, but not a hair is out of place as it touches all the bases. At the reasonable end of the Santorini price scale these days, this is rather exceptional again, an increasingly consistent bottling that typically delivers quality at a good price point. There were 1,800 cases produced.. (Mar 2021)"
Santorini is a small island in the Aegean Sea known for its unique training system known as stefani, where vines are bush-trained like a basket. Tselepos' 100% Assyrtiko is made from vines of 50-100 years of age grown in sandy soils. The wine is light gold in color with intense aromatics and very mineral driven on the palate. Enjoy this wine with sardines, shellfish or grilled white meat.
