SantoWines Santorini PDO Irini 2017 vintage is a truly unique wine that reveals a deep lemon colour with golden hues. On the nose it feels very youthful with aromas of ripe yellow lemon, dried honey, chamomile, sage and coriander with suggestions of white and black pepper, toffee and vanillin. On the palate Irini is full bodied and ripe with amazing viscosity that caresses the palate. The oily, silky texture is balanced by the well integrated acidity that adds freshness and structure. Flavours of lime, yellow lemon, lemon tart, dried orange peel and dried yellow flower open to reveal layers of dried apricot, spice and butter with just a hint of creamy oak.

Although fully concentrated and arguably big wine it feels balanced and harmonious. It compliments rich salads and yellow cheeses but will be unbeatable with barbecued rich fish like sea bream and white meats.
