Sarris "Lygia" 2020

100% Tsaoussi
A still orange wine from the Cephalonia region of Greece.
Funky. Orange peel, cider, wet stone.

Tasting Notes

The 2020 Lygia from Panos Sarris has a nice apricot-y colour.

On the nose it shows a cider-y like character, notes of komquat and orange peel follow. It unfolds with some herbaceousness (nettle maybe?), a hint of incense and wet stone.

The mouthfeel is interesting and ”layered”. It’s round, yet has a crunch and nice integrated freshness. The sensations complement each others and are balanced! Unfortunately Lygia is a bit thin in the mouth. Watery almost.

On the palate it shows notes of orange peel again then walnut and bitter almond.

The finish is on the short side
