Ratings & Reviews

 

91 Points - Decanter:
Nice flinty mineral touch at first glance, with a citrusy background on the nose. Steely palate with a lifted acidity. (DWWA 2024)

 

90 Points & Best Buy – Wine Enthusiast (2022): 
“There's the faintest whiff of white flowers on the otherwise citrus-driven nose of this racy Assyrtiko from Domaine Skouras, a 1986 winery in an almost comically picturesque corner of Greece's Peloponnese. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged for four months on its lees, the wine has pleasantly balanced lemon and grapefruit flavors plus a touch of viscosity on the medium-bodied palate. Drink now with light, bright foods and snacks, or serve as an aperitif and regret absolutely nothing.” – Emily Saladino (Mar 2024)
