Malagousia

Introduction

Although its origin is from Aetolia-Acarnania, Malagousia found its second home in Macedonia and is now successfully cultivated throughout Greece. It is the variety that introduced the general public to quality bottled wine, thanks to its intensely outgoing and aromatic character.

Tasting Notes

- Color: Bright lemon-green. - Aromas: A palette reminiscent of white-fleshed peach, green pepper, basil, lemon blossom, and exotic fruits (such as lychee). - Palate: Medium body, with a round sensation and oiliness, balanced acidity, and a refreshing, herbal aftertaste.

Gastronomy

Malagousia is the ideal wine for dishes with aromatic herbs: - Seafood: Grilled fish, prawns, and seafood pasta. - Green Dishes: Risotto with asparagus, pies with greens, or salads with fresh herbs. - Poultry: Chicken with white sauces or lemon-based dishes. - Asian Cuisine: Pairs excellently with sushi and dishes featuring ginger.

Terroir

Terroir: Prefers semi-mountainous soils with moderate fertility to prevent overproduction. Climate: Sensitive to humidity (botrytis), thus requires well-ventilated areas. Result: Explosive aromas and a round body.
