So many countries can make great wine and that includes Greece and this Brut sparkling from Chrysostomou Mousaios in northern Greece, unfortunately is not a great wine. Its not terrible but the oak is very overpowering.

Made with the Assyriko grape the colour is lovely rich straw, there’s honey and citrus aromas. Its a dense, rich in flavour of stone fruit and nuts but the oaky, smoke flavours much are too much. It needs to be much more refined, drinkable but that’s the best I can say.
