Thalassinos 2020 Little Troublemaker Orange

Is it an Orange wine? It has 3 hours skin contact and 10 months on the lees in amphora from a grape called Vidiano (the main white grape of Crete).  Hence the name given to the winemaker by his neighbors: Little Troublemaker! New young blood Isidoros is shaking things up on the Sitia plateau in Crete above the main Capital of Heraklion up in the mountains. Grown on shale and limestone soils at 800m elevation from ancient 100-200 year old vines, they are hand harvested at dawn to avoid the heat and wild fermented. Unfined and unfiltered. after it's time in amphora, it spends another 10 months in bottle with minimal addition of sulfites. Regardless of what you call it, it busts a move right out of the glass full of herbs, rocks and lemon zest, tart grapefruit and sheer delightful caprice...Little Troublemaker!!! Giselle Hamburg
