Domaine Papagiannakos Melias, PGI Attiki (50cl)

Production

The Malagouzia grapes are sourced from a 1 hectare vineyard - harvested mid-August. The wine is produced by a local traditional method - approximately 40% of the desired final quantity of wine is boiled with Malagouzia grape must. Then successive doses of the live fermenting grape must are added carefully, so as not to stop fermentation. Locals call this type of wine 'vrasto' which means 'boiled'.

Tasting notes

Aromas of candied citrus peel, honey, barley sugar and dried fruit - with just a hint of ripe pineapple. The palate is luscious and intense with layers of orange, honey, citrus and peach. Ripe apricot acidity gives a long, balanced finish.

Food match

Fantastic with crème brulée or baklava, or serve with chilled melon.
