This is what good wine from the Serifiotiko grape tastes like

Serifiotiko is a rare Greek grape. Never heard of it? No need to be embarrassed - it's so rare that even the thick wine encyclopedias stay silent on it. In a white wine made from Serifiotiko, you usually recognize citrus from both lime and lemon, and peach. They are fairly light, aromatic and somewhat floral. On the palate they often show a refreshing minerality.

Serifiotiko comes from the Greek island of Serifos, which gives it its name. Serifos lies in the Aegean Sea, between Athens and Crete. Despite its light pink skin (similar to, for example, Pinot Gris), it produces white wine. It grows on 'ungrafted' vines - original European vines that were never affected by phylloxera. A few winemakers on various islands in the Aegean Sea press a wine from Serifiotiko. The Serifiotiko from OuSyra on the island of Syros is the best known.
