Achaia Clauss Demestica White

This much-maligned wine said to be the highest selling in Greece, is made from Roditis, Sideritis and other white varieties. It is blended for the consistency for which it has been known for nearly a century.

Summer wine and distinctly ethnic, by any measure, we found much better aromas and cleaner flavors than we have found in exported versions. There is some peachiness in its fruit, straw in its color and herbal notes. The finish was surprisingly upscale. A new US importer may solve the storage and handling problems the plagued the wine in the past.
