Tsantali Agiorgitiko White (75cl, 12%)

A Greek white wine produced by Tsantali from the red Agiorgitiko grape, vinified in a blanc de noir style, bottled at 12% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Tsantali was founded in 1890 and is headquartered in Agios Pavlos, Halkidiki, in the Macedonia region of northern Greece. The red-skinned grapes are pressed quickly with minimal to no skin contact. The nose tends toward restrained floral and orchard fruit aromatics, with subtle white peach, citrus blossom and a mineral undertone. The palate opens with soft stone fruit, nectarine and pear, then gentle citrus acidity, with slightly more body than a conventional Greek white. The finish is medium, clean and lightly mineral, with a hint of bitter almond and citrus pith.
