Domaine Oikonomoy PHI 2017

Grape: Assyrtiko
Vintage: 2017
Type: White

The Domaine Oikonomoy PHI 2017 is a distinctive Assyrtiko from Crete, Greece, showcasing an oxidative style with notable complexity. On the nose, it offers a rich and evolving bouquet of dried apples, beeswax, and a saline, mineral-driven quality, which can sometimes present with a hint of petrol on opening. The palate is equally complex and textural, with a rich, almost waxy mouthfeel balanced by bright, soaring acidity. Notes of honeyed fruit, savory umami, and Mediterranean herbs lead to an impressively long and persistent finish. This wine is a powerful and unique expression of the Assyrtiko grape, reflecting the producer's low-intervention winemaking philosophy and the unique terroir of eastern Crete.
