Hatzidakis Santorini 2008 (£9.49-£13.50 Waitrose, Tanners, Adnams, Theatre of Wine, Green & Blue, Cooden Cellars)
Tangy, pleasing style that combines richness with crispness, lots of fresh fruit – green apple, lime, lemon – and a taut citrussy finish. B+
Moraitis Sillogi White 2007, Paros (£9.95 Laytons)
Similar citrus crispness, but richer, lacks the zip and minerally zest, just turning a touch bitter – should have been drunk up by now. C
Hatzidakis Nykteri Reserve 2007, Santorini (£13.99-19.80 Cooden Cellars, Theatre of Wine)
Peach, melon, pineapple chunk, some smoky/resinny oak, very rich and mouthfilling, but lacks the balance of the basic version. Comes across as slightly bloated. B
Moraitis Sillogi Red 2005, Paros (£10.95 Laytons)
Earthy cherry, cooked fruit, ripe but with quite a big structure, slightly bitter cherry, some red berries, but finish is just a little coarse. B-
Great video, super informative! I love the way you mix geography & weather when chatting wine. This is such a huge part of why wines taste the way it does, yet so few people talk about this. Thanks for the comparisons as well. I’m subscribing to your blog!
Glad you liked it Katie
