The Biblia Chora Ovilos' fine nose is expressive with aromas of apricot and honey on elegant layers of tropical fruit and citrus, all amplified by scents of nuts and vanilla. Rich in texture, this stylish aromatic wine is delicately balanced by a refreshing palate that leads into a complex finish.
Ovilos White matches well with firm fish on the grill, seafood risotto, sushi, turkey and other poultry, and cheese soufflé
Ovilos White is a most exciting blend of two grape varieties, Assyrtiko and Semillon, grown in the warmest but most barren spot in the Estate’s vineyard located on the slopes of Mount Pangeon. After a brief maceration period on the skins, the wine is fermented in French oak and left in contact with the lees in barrel for a few months to add structure and complexity.
Wine Advocate Review:
The 2020 Ovilos is an equal blend of Semillon and Assyrtiko aged for five months in used French barriques. It comes in at 13.5% alcohol. Green, sharp and pungent, this is a wine that is remarkably lively despite the time in wood. The key feature, though, is going to be those green nuances that will remind many of Sauvignon Blanc. You'll like it or you won't, as always. This blend, though, keeps them under control and allows the fine structure and concentration to have the final say. The green nuances make it enlivening and refreshing. This is best suited to be a food pairing, but it is so well-balanced that you can easily drink it on its own too. Anticipated Maturity: 2022-2030
