Karavitakis, Kompsos White, Crete, Greece, 2020

In the last 20 years or so, the dynamic Karavitakis family has overhauled its vineyards, built a new winery and planted new varieties. Viticulture is sustainable, with no chemicals used. 'Kompsos' means 'elegant' in Greek, and it doesn't appear to be the best descriptor of this exuberant, unoaked blend of the Cretan white grape Vidiano with Assyrtiko and Malvasia. Fragrant, herby and fruit-forward, it's bursting with aromas and flavours of fresh melon, mango and kumquat, slightly lemon zesty too. A veritable fruit salad of a wine.
