A garlic-lover’s friend
A yummy dry white wine from one of the oldest organic producers in Greece. Made from a grape called Roditis, a mainstay of Greek wine culture, this version is clean, citrusy, a bit sharp (in a good way), that rounds out a touch at the end. It’s a bit edgy, they way white cliffs in Greece cut right through the aqua blue ocean. It begs for tangy yogurt sauces and lots of garlic!
Delicious With
Perfect with classic Greek fair: Chicken Souvlaki, minty yogurt sauce, tons of lemon and hordes of garlic. This will stand up to spices like cumin and paprika, as well as brighten up any smoky char-grilled flavors.
