Description
An enchanting, aromatically complex, sweet, vibrant, floral, grapey. The palate is citric, tangy, long and still very perfumed. While it lacks for complexity it certainly makes up for it with intensity. Drink it now. Serve it with fresh fruit or blue cheese.
The Samos Co-operative has the honour presiding over Greece’s best known and most highly regarded appellation. This co-op sees themselves as the guardian of the islands famous Muscat tradition.
Aegean Islands – An important historical wine making area. Their strong shipping network helped get their wines over the world. PDOs include Santorini, Rodos, Samos, Limnos and Paros. Of these Santorini is the most famous and important. A volcano where the vines grow in low basket shaped crowns to protect the grapes from strong winds, fog and hot sunshine.
Muscat Of Alexandra/Moscatel – The same variety that makes Moscato d’Asti, Muscat Beaumes de Venice and Australian Muscat. The naturally high sugar and acid in the grape made it a robust and therefore popular wine before sanitation was properly understood. The balance and highly aromatic nature of the grape makes it a beautiful variety for sweeter wines.
