The Papagiannakos family have been involved in the Attica region since the 12th Century. It is in the last decades though, under the guidance of Vassilis Papagionnakos, that they have forged their own path, showing the world what the variety Savatiano is capable of. They have established themselves as a benchmark for the complete package, when it comes to the modern Greek wine industry. Their winery and grounds are immaculate, and the design of the facility is nothing short of first class, however it is also Vassilis’ understanding and commitment to the variety Savatiano and their consistent work at growing and producing the finest examples of indigenous varieties, such as Malagousia and Agiorgitiko, that has stood them firmly at the forefront of the contemporary Greek wine industry.

Light straw-yellow; elusive nose of dried flowers, citrus blossom—peppery and attractive. The wine is light and crisp, dry and soft at the same moment, with good intensity and persistence. There is a touch of finesse to it. Balance and harmony, finished off by a subtle trace of phenolic grip. A well-made modern dry white.  Date: July 2023; Alcohol: 13%; Price: $53.00; Drink: 2023-2028; Rating: 95 Points; Huon Hooke; The Real Review
