Really surprised by this one
Grabbed this on a recommendation from the guy at my local wine shop — never even heard of Assyrtiko before. Really zesty and fresh, loads of citrus and a bit of passionfruit coming through. Loved the salty finish, it's like sea air in a glass. Will definitely be buying again for summer.

Great with seafood
Bought this for a dinner party where we were doing grilled prawns and it was perfect. That citrusy, slightly salty thing it has going on just worked so well with the food. A couple of friends asked me what it was so that's always a good sign.

Nice but a bit steep
It's a decent white, crisp and clean with some nice lime and gooseberry flavours. But nearly £24 for a 12% wine feels like a stretch when you can get a solid Picpoul for half that. Would maybe get it again on offer.

My new favourite white
I've been trying to branch out from Sauvignon Blanc and this was exactly what I needed. It's got that same kind of freshness but there's something more interesting going on — almost minerally? The nectarine and passionfruit notes are lovely. Already on my second bottle this month.
