    Jansis Rombinson, Steve Daniel and many other famous wine-masters, wine-consultants, wine-buyers have signed articles for wines that Santa Maura represents...

    THE NEW YORK OBSERVER - JULY 21, 1997

  • MOIRA HODGSON

    • "But the wine the sommelier picked out was no joke; it was a red cabernet sauvignon-franc from Antonopoulos that was so delicious my hasband was ready to get on the next train to Astoria and buy a case at Grand Wine and Liquor, the famous Greek wine store. "It's one-tenth of what we paid at Le Cirque last week and twice as good", he said." 

    FINANCIAL TIMES - WEEKEND NOVEMBER 29 1998

  • JANCIS ROBINSON

    • "Antonopoulos Chardonnay is a completely different kettle of mullet. I had my first ever Greek fling with the 1996 and this subsequent vintage, a pound dearer at 9.99, could well be the wine to ease you into the idea of fine Greek wine. Serve it, soon, to your white burgundy-loving friends.

    Antonopoulos has also made a fine wine blend of Greek varieties in what the back label describes as "dire climatic conditions" called Adoli Ghis 1997, far more multi-layered than most wines at 9.99. If you like Galician whites, you will love this elegant very slightly honeyed wine. Its acid level suggests it might age extremely gracefully.
    My preferred Antonopoulos red is the cheaper one, the Private Collection 1997 blend of Aghiorghitiko and Cabernet which is still young but fully warrants its 6.99 price tag." 

    DECANTER - AUGUST 1998

  • STEVEN SPURRIER

    • Best Old World White:
    Adoli Ghis 1997,
    Antonopoulos Vineyards, 
    Patras, Greece
    "The vineyards are 650 metres above the port of Patras; the name means "guileless earth" and the grapes are 90% indigenous with 10% Chardonnay. The wine has a pale silver colour, a minerally, floral aroma, ripe pear-like fruit on the palate, deliciously elegant with a bone dry finish. It is a perfect aperitif and a fine example of the exciting Greek wines that are becoming more and more available on the export markets."

    "Soft nose, with subtle creamy and tangerine notes. Agreeable texture, with restrained fruit flavours; finish dominated by peppery oak flavours."
     
  • STEVE DANIEL

    • "Really intense fruit on the nose. Deep, concentrated fruit on the palate; has good flavour and length."
