Olivier Poussier
The ace of Greek assyrtikos, in magnum!
At the cellar Iosif, on the island of Paros
During sunny holidays in the archipelago of the Cyclades, in Greece, a local refreshment is essential. Planted at 400m altitude on the island of Tinos, between Andros and Mykonos, this assyrtiko is a pure miracle. Like crystal at times, salty and delicately peppery this wine reveals perfectly its granitic terroir in a hyper concentrated energy. This magnum found in Naoussa, on the island of Paros, will not be too much!
