Vineyard 2011, Mantinia 2018

A new effort in Mantinia, the Vineyard 2011 is bottled for vine grower Vassiliki Koumarella. The packaging is interesting and eye-catching although the 'bird' concept is around for decades. On the nose it is lightly perfumed with jasmine and light spice. Plenty of citrus zest. Elegant and vibrant on the palate it delivers good definition and balance. Promising.
