”A vision splendid for the Barry family, who set their sights on this most Greek of white varieties in 2006. By 2014 they had succeeded, and today we have a wine that seems to increase in quality year-on-year. This release has a good deal of attractive savouriness overlaid on the gin, tonic, lemon and green apple fruit characters – indeed, oatmeal and cashew lend complexity and textural nuance, elevating the wine into unique territory. In a nutshell, it's delicious, quietly complex and refreshing to boot. Kudos, Barrys!”
– Mike Bennie
