Super article by Yiannis Karakasis MW delving into the terroir and expressions of the fabulous Assyrtiko grape, Greece's flagship variety
"Assyrtiko is a variety that is bold, without being aggressive. It has a firm structure and a powerful personality. It needs time to unfold and to reveal the layers of its complexity. It is almost monolithic in its youth, but after 2-3 years in bottle, it will open in the glass and emerge as a beautiful swan." Yiannis Karakasis MW
