Shop Preview: "Nykteri"- dry white wine. The formula to instant wine making on the night of the same day that the grapes were harvested solved the problem of the variety's sensitive aroma. In this way the wine's contact with barrel's wood gives the Nykteri a special finesse. Characteristics crystal-clear, semi0yellow wine. Dominated by the aromas of jasmine, citrus fruits, flowers and pear, all these enhanced with gentle vanilla sense. A strong body with warm personality and a long lasting taste.
My Review: The aromas of barrels, vanilla and citrus fruits are extremely dominant in this wine. It is rich in flavor, and has a spicy intense taste that lingers long after. After following with wine tasting with a piece of bread, I feel it would have paired well with additional bread and cheese appetizers.
