Tsantali Makedonikos White (75cl, 12%)

A dry Greek white wine from Macedonia, blended from Athiri and Rhoditis grapes. Produced by Evangelos Tsantalis S.A. in Halkidiki, it is fermented using low-temperature vinification to preserve the delicate aromatics and fresh fruit character of the two indigenous varieties. The nose opens with lemon zest, white grapefruit, gentle floral tones, green apple and a whisper of honey. The palate is crisp and dry, with bright acidity carrying citrus and green apple, a touch of cardamom-like spice and juicy stone fruit. The finish is clean and surprisingly long, with lingering citrus peel and a faintly mineral edge.
