This succulent and unique Greek wine opens on the nose with light florality and honeysuckle, grapefruit, green tropical fruits and nectarine, followed by a round palate where mellow tropical fruits of candied pineapple, kumquat, mangosteen are balanced with white peach and a refreshing minerality. The texture and concentration of this North-West Macedonian white is matched with a lifted acidity, a well-balanced finesse, and an exquisite finish with the subtle bitterness of fruit peel and almond skin.
From the Producer, "Smokey lemon and lime aromas explode from the glass, with passionfruit and tropical undertones. This leads to a dry and structured midpalate that overlays grapefruit pith with creme brulee richness before a long and mineral finish of meyer lemon."
Aromas of peach and apricot lead to a medium-plus bodied white that has ripe nuances, but retains its minerality and clean, fresh flavors. It is rounded in texture with moderate acidity and though dry, it expresses juicy peach, citrus and a slight honeyed note.

Bob Lynde is a native of Portland Oregon who fell in love with South Africa and its wines while the country still faced an international economic boycott. When the boycott was lifted in the early ‘90s, he was ready, founding Cape Classics, one of the first companies to import South African wines to the US. He began a collaborative project with local growers, the “Bob’s African” line of wines—solid sippers offering great value—and 10% of the proceeds went to local NGOs in the communities where the wines were produced. He sold the import company in 2005 to focus on developing the Fat Barrel Brand, which includes both South African and Oregon wines, and continues the Bob’s wines as well.
The Fat Barrel line of wines uses fruit grown by “selected” growers that Fat Barrel has worked with for more than 10 years.
