A blend of Muscat, Muscatel, Tsaousi and Vostilidi from 80-year-old pre-phylloxera vines on the Greek island of Cephalonia. Unusually the bottles are aged in fresh water tanks in the winery, providing constant temperatures, darkness and lack of oxygen. Ripe citrus aromas with hints of peach and nuts. A textured floral and herbal palate; bone dry with fresh, focused acidity that ends in a crisp lingering finish with notes of honeyed lemon and grapefruit pith. Lovely!
