Domaine de Kalathas St. Obéissance

Sometimes you choose a place, but sometimes the place chooses you. In the case of Jerome Binda, we don’t know which of the two actually happened, but his arrival on Tinos and his decision in 2011 to become a winemaker on the island marked a different “interpretation” of the potential of the island’s granitic terroir. Sainte-Obéissance is a classic example of the umami-rich signature found in the island’s wines. Delicious, lively, ripe, and tropical on the palate, with an exceptionally subtle dry-fruit sensation that is refreshed by the salty, mineral dimension the wine leaves on the finish. It’s hard to describe its aromas, but tasting it is sure to awaken flavor memories you thought were lost.
