KTIMA GEROVASSILIOUS Malagousia 'Epanomi' - Macedonia 2023 Bottle VGN

Description

Domaine Gerovassiliou Malagousia is made from the indigenous Greek grape variety Malagousia, the revival of which is due in large part to Evangelos Gerovassiliou.

The Malagousia (pronounced Mah-lah-gou-ZYA) grapes were macerated on the skins to extract the desired level of aromas and flavours. The must was static settled and the majority was fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperatures of between 18 to 20°C; while 20% was vinified in seasoned French oak. Clarification took place by gravity. The wine was then matured on the lees for approximately two months with regular bâtonnage (lees stirring) which imparted texture and complexity.

The wine shows expressive aromas of white pear, peach and lemon zest combine with floral hints. Opulent, with harmonious balance the palate offers a spicy, fresh and mouthwatering finish enveloped in a delicious flinty, mineral character.
