Hatzidakis, Santorini PDO (Cyclades, Greece) Assyrtiko 2018

Dec 29, 2020

By Miranda Franco

 The late Haridimos Hatzidakis brought fame to Santorini, Greek wines, particularly to the ancient Assyrtiko grape.  The Hatzidakis "Cuvée n°15" is more decadent and riper than many Santorini whites.  This 100 percent Assytriko has rich layers of green apples, yellow peach, green pear, salted lemon rind, seaspray, and citrus blossoms.  So broadly pleasing is this wine that you’ll find yourself wondering what won’t go with this wine. This will keep maturing into a beautifully composed Assyrtiko over the next 3 to 5 years.
