We are currently working on two grape varieties, Malagouzia<\/strong> and Limnio<\/strong>, respectively a white wine and a red whine, probably familiar to those who frequent the Greek and, more generally, the Mediterranean wine market.<\/p>\n
One of the most conspicuous victims of the phylloxera epidemic, Malagouzia has been revived since the mid-1990s and has assumed an increasingly important role among high-quality Greek white wines. This variety produces moderately acidic, perfumed and full-bodied wines, whose common descriptors include peach, apricot, a restrained muscat tone and aromas of citrus, jasmine and mint.
As white wines do not usually ferment in amphora, our system of maceration with grape skins and seeds leads to a greater extraction of colour pigments from the grape skins, which makes the wine golden yellow.<\/p>\n
Limnio has a long history of wine production that we could easily trace back to Ancient Greece: wine historians believe it to be the grape variety described by Aristotle when he spoke of Limnian.
As it happens, Limnian vines are known for their hardiness and ability to survive drought \u2014 two characteristics necessary for Mediterranean wines.
As a grape variety, Limnio produces full-bodied wines with moderate tannins and acidity and a characteristic mineral aroma.<\/p>\n
