Description: “A blend of the two indigenous varieties Malagousia and Assyrtiko. The lesser-known Malagousia is an ancient, highly aromatic variety that can produce quite elegant wines; the grape had nearly become extinct, and was only very recently rediscovered in modern Greece. This is a dry, zesty, very fresh and well-balanced wine with a nice length to the finish. Great as an aperitif or as a match for seafood appetizers.” (LCBO)

Rich gold colour with medium+ intensity on the nose.

Positives: Very nice wine showing grapefruit, lime, apricots, mandarin, apples and green tea. Medium body with good acidity and medium+ length.

Negatives: None

Interesting Point: Very similar to the Rueda (Pedro Escudero Fuente Elvira) that I have just reviewed, but this one has more yellow grapefruit than pink grapefruit.

Drink now on its own or pair it with lemon pepper catfish.
