Afianes Litani 2018

Afines Winery, based in the charming tiny, volcanic island of Icaria make natural wines with the sole purpose of achieving excellence; commercial considerations are very far back in the order of importance meaning that all though the production is a very small production, the wines are really something special. A hidden gem. The Litani 2018 is delicious and satisfying, however, what will really surprise/indulge you how meticulously clean the palate is; you’d expect this quality from much pricier wines. Astonishingly mineral wine from the local Icarian Begleri grape variety. Dominant apple, pear and nectarine aromas on the nose and a palate with hints of white truffle. Balanced and full thanks to its condensed fruit and bold yet elegant minerality. We recommend serving chilled but not very cold. 14c ideally (30-40 minutes in the fridge)
