MALAGOUZIA

Malagousia is the quintessence of the modern renaissance of the New Wines of Greece witnessed in the last twenty years. It is the personification of the way Greek wine producers are rediscovering their potential. In the 1970s, Malagousia was a white variety known to very few and thought to be extinct. Today, after painstaking work from university professors and top growers, Malagousia is widely considered a world-class grape, producing outstanding dry whites, as well as a few dazzling sweet examples.

Malagousia makes wines that are medium pale, lemon green in color while the nose is very intense and highly expressive, showing hints of peaches, green bell pepper, basil, and flowers. On the palate, it is round, full but always fresh, with moderately high levels of alcohol.

Malagousia is a hugely successful variety, widely acclaimed around the world. Its wines are grand examples of aromatic whites, full of vibrancy and complexity. Can be an exquisite match for green salads and even artichokes, a famous “wine killer.”
