Ktima Toplou – Gerto 2019

The Gerto 2019 from Toplou Winery is a single-varietal Thrapsathiri that shows this Cretan grape – sometimes called the 'Greek Sauvignon Blanc' – can also be quite refined. The nose displays impressive elegance with delicate notes of brioche and white flowers. On the palate, a vibrant freshness unfolds with flavors of green apple and a hint of ripe mango. The finish is saline. The combination of elegance and verve is convincing – and that in the sixth year after harvest, confirmed at a recent re-tasting. 90 points.
