2022 Ocean Thraptsathiri White

419,00 
The Philosophy
Our Thrapsathiri is one of the first single-varietal expressions of this emerging Cretan grape and our winery was among the first to recognize its potential. The high altitude of the fruit’s origin and the careful winemaking process result in a highly expressive wine that blends richness and roundness with freshness and acidity, as well as the exoticism with ‘greener’ elements. This wine seems to unite two worlds, the old with the new, much like Crete’s geographical position, which marks the southernmost tip of Europe.
Flavor Characteristics
Bright lemon-green color. Complex and charming aroma where stone fruits and exotic fruits are beautifully combined with citrus on a background of pepper, white flowers, and minerality. Rich flavor with creamy texture, refreshing acidity, and a very nice persistent and spicy aftertaste.
