Greece has many islands. Oia, Santorini, is the one nobody forgets.

This lightly oaked Assyrtiko from very old vines is super today. Ripe but perfectly balanced, it's fresh and deep, tastes great, has gorgeous fruit and a lively demeanor to lift the fruit. It's a beauty from ancient, centenarian vines. See pic #2

Age allowed it to blossom while remaining completely youthful. It has pulled in the wood, which seems to provide texture and not get in the way even a little. It is still young; lots of time left!

End #donkey and #mule #exploitation in #Santorini
Since 2018, the #animalwelfare organisation @peta Germany and its #international #entities have been active for donkeys and mules who are #exploited as #living #taxis and #tourist #attractions on the #Greek #island of Santorini.
I was shocked to learn that these #animals are still forced to #suffer despite the international #outcry against their #abuse. The images from 2018 clearly show that the equines were #exposed to the scorching sun and did not have #sufficient #food, #water, or #shade. Every day, these donkeys and mules are used to carry sometimes #extremely #heavy tourists as live taxis. The #animalhandlers often hit them with #woodensticks and the tourists themselves abuse them by kicking their stomachs.
