Kyperounda, Petritis

PnP and served out of the fridge. Started quite simple, improved a bit when it got warmer. On the nose a bit shy with floral notes and slightly greenish, on the palate dry with good freshness but a bit thin and short.

Very consistent with a year ago and even better. More fruit intensity and lingering salinity on the finish. Super dynamic. Consistent in two bottles over dinner. Really great stuff.

A glass at Larnaca airport. Very pale golden yellow. Not very aromatic but with good freshness. On the attack reminds me a bit of a young Riesling, a bit fizzy, on the mid palate then with a bit more weight and concentration, a touch of bitterness as well that carries into the finish. Very well made and refreshing white. Apparently the most common white wine grape in Cyprus. Keep wondering why so many warmer climate new world growers stick exclusively …

P30; 8/31/2023-9/3/2023 (The Anassa, Cyprus) : A wine a never really got the on board the fun fare and probably one of the few we don’t see eye to eye with Andrew Hall. It’s a good effort but always we find it lacking and soft and lightly aromatic and lacking depth. Soft pale lemon and light mineral edge but lacking in the specialty factor. 89

One of the best Petritis I've had. Vibrant acidity and depth. Salted lemon nose with a vaguely jasmine element. Meyer lemon fruits and mineral notes. Really balanced and dynamic.
