Description / Reviews
"This wine is entirely produced from the Greek grape variety of Malagousia, which was saved from extinction due to the efforts of Vangelis Gerovassiliou.
Following skin contact in cold, vinification is carried out in stainless steel tanks at 18 °C, while some is vinified in French oak barrels. The wine is left with its lees for a number of months to gain structure and body. It has a brilliant straw colour with greenish shades and an aroma of matured fruit such as pear, mango and citrus.
On the palate the rich flavours of lemon peel enhance the appealing mouthfeel, adding a well-balanced finish." - Ktima, Winemaker
"A beautifully complex Malagousia crafted by the family that helped save the variety from extinction. Smoky white peach unfolds into yellow plum and citrus peel on the nose. More lychee and floral perfume emerge on the palate, with white blossom, green pear and further stone fruit notes to follow. Crisp acidity provides lift to the ripe white fruit and weighted texture. Finishing long and poised." - 94 Points, Sylvia Wu, Decanter
