Tselepos (Canava Chrissou) Assyrtiko Santorini Vieilles Vignes 2020

Not yet reviewed; 2019 vintage rated 92 points by Mark Squires (Wine Advocate): “The 2019 Santorini (Canava Chrissou) Vieilles Vignes (meaning centenarian vines from Akrotiri, Megalohori and Emporeion) is all Assyrtiko, unoaked and coming in at 13.8% alcohol. Bright and perky, this has a fresh feel with a touch of what people like to call saline. The brightness makes it seem rather lively and transparent. Notwithstanding the fresh feel, the concentration is good and it always remains in fine balance. There is some tension on the clean finish as well as flavor. Nothing hits you over the head here, but not a hair is out of place as it touches all the bases. At the reasonable end of the Santorini price scale these days, this is rather exceptional again, an increasingly consistent bottling that typically delivers quality at a good price point. There were 1,800 cases produced..”
