Jim Barry Assyrtiko 2022: Citrus-Driven Elegance

Hannah Brooks — Really surprised by this one

8/10

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.

Jason Steel — Great with seafood

7/10

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.

Penelope Hart — Nice but a bit steep

6/10

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.
