TETRAMYTHOS ORANGE NATURE RODITIS 2024 PDO Patras

Some smoky/flinty notes – possibly (good) reduction. Bone dry and firmly textured. Lime- like green fruits. Stony mineral. Fantastic grip. Malolactic conversion gives roundness, as does a slow fermentation because, according to winemaker Panagiotis Papagiannopoulos, in stressful conditions, yeasts release glycerol. Full in the mouth. Excellent freshness. When to drink: 2026-2032. Score: 17.5 out of 20 (Julia Harding, MW, jancisrobinson.com, July 11, 2025) Aromatic & Flavourful 50630 (XD) 750 ml $33.95 2 Featured in Gimme Some Skin

This 100% Assyrtiko comes from a mountainous site where the altitude adds to the zesty character of the wine. It’s tangy and long, with lemon, pear, apple, some toast, and a sharply defined mineral ity. Try it with grilled seafood, or simply sip. Aromatic & Flavourful 44246 (XD) 750 ml 23.95 2
