Koukos Assyrtiko "Oak-Aged"

If you are a fan of the bright, tensile, and beautifully balanced whites of the Côte Chalonnaise, this wine is going to be your new obsession. Assyrtiko is naturally famous for its fierce acidity and salty minerality. When a masterful producer decides to gently age it in oak, something magical happens. The wood softens the sharp edges and adds a gorgeous layer of toasted hazelnut and subtle baking spice, all while the grape retains its laser focused citrus drive. It drinks exactly like a high end Rully or Montagny and is wildly impressive for the price.
