Several
years ago I read the Australian wine critic Max Allen introduce the pleasures
of the Greek grape Assyrtiko. And I have finally found a bottle of this wine in
a Northern Rivers bottle shop! The 2016 Domaine Costa Lazaridi Assyrtiko is
summer in a bottle, making you think of a Greek island in that season or, equally,
an Australian beach. Though with a strong, aroma of musk guava, on the palate
it is like drinking summer! Assyrtiko is being grown in Australia by Jim Barry
of Clare Valley, with a 2017 available online … for a hefty price.
