The 2022 Gavalas Assyrtiko transports you to Santorini with aromas of sea spray, citrus blossom, orange zest, lemon curd, and pear. The wine is concentrated and voluminous on the palate with coruscating acidity. It delivers massive swells of citrus that simmer with crushed volcanic minerals and provide a lingering and mouthwatering finish. This is an excellent introduction to the variety and the terroir, and it is only starting to show its potential. If you love dry white wines, this is one to add to your repertoire.
