Pyritis 2019, Artemis Karamolegos Winery

Date Tasted: 1/2022

Karamolegos winery seems to be the most innovative on the island of Santorini, with their wines expressing the terroir in various ways. Pyritis is a genuinely authentic wine with minimal interventions by the winemaker and crystal purity into the glass.

Appearance: Deep gold colour.

Nose: The lemon aromas are intense with white blossoms and Santorini's incredible mineral dimension. It is very fresh, pure and complex.

Palate: It is bone dry with high sharp acidity, yet good balance. The flavours of lemon and flint are intense. Salty and powerful yet with grace. It is medium-bodied with a long, fresh and complex finish. 

Drink or Hold: It is lovely now but with a long ageing potential. 

Food Pairing: Try it with fatty fish like salmon or swordfish.
