Acheon, Sideritis in Amphorea, Achaia, Peloponnese, Greece 2021

There's an oily quality to this wine, in perfect counterpoint to the underlying minerality. Sideritis, an overlooked Greek variety often used for table grapes, can produce wines with a steely quality and spicy nuances, both of which are on show here. Partially fermented and aged in amphorae, there's a distinct purity to the lime zest, pear and lemon oil flavours. Enjoy with grilled sardines or fresh goat's cheese.
