🌿🏺 Xynisteri Skin Contact "Paradosis", Tsiakkas

TASTING NOTES
This wine displays a luminous golden yellow hue with brilliant clarity, showcasing the depth and richness that speaks to its careful vinification and potential aging.

The aromatic profile opens with vibrant citrus notes of bergamot, lending an almost Earl Grey tea-like elegance to the nose. Layers of ripe quince and succulent white peach create a beautiful stone fruit foundation, while subtle white pepper adds an intriguing spicy lift that enhances the wine's complexity and sophistication.

On the palate, this medium-bodied wine strikes an excellent balance between fruit-forward appeal and structural refinement. The initial fruit flavors are complemented by well-integrated, appetizing tannins that provide gentle grip without overwhelming the delicate fruit character. The oak influence is masterfully handled—present enough to add depth and vanilla-tinged warmth, yet so seamlessly woven into the wine's fabric that it enhances rather than dominates the natural fruit expression. The finish reveals harmonious integration between fruit, structure, and wood, creating an elegant and thoroughly enjoyable drinking experience.
