Tasting Profile
Exceptional monovarietal Koroneiki that bursts with a very intense aroma of green olives and freshly cut grass. Very complex, it gives off aromas of apple, green banana, almond and citrus on the fruit side, accompanied by tomato and artichoke on the vegetal side. It culminates with fine and intense aromas of wild herbs and spices.
On the palate, it is elegant, sweet, and powerful at the same time. Its fluid entry gives way to a balanced spiciness and bitterness of medium intensity. Its retronasal reminds us of green almond, olive leaves and herbs. A highly complex juice with a pleasant long-lasting finish.
