IntroducingThe Grapes varietals
Malagousia
Malagousia is currently one of the most recognizable Greek varieties. It’s a very sensitive variety which is difficult to grow and this might be the reason why its cultivation was abandoned. However, understanding Malagousia true potential led to plantings all around Greece, which are constantly growing. As a result, Malagousia has been able to present a variety of successful styles, from dry to sweet, still or sparkling, with or without barrel aging, each one of those being very interesting. All those expressions however have as a common the expressive nose, with stone and citrus fruits as the protagonists, and the freshness in the mouth.
Moschofilero
One of the varieties – ambassadors of Greek wine, Moschofilero is a gray skinned variety which produces mostly white wines, with the pink version slowly picking up ground. It is cultivated mainly in Peloponnese and mostly at Mantinia plateau. As a variety, it loves high elevation and gives aromatic wines with fruity and intense floral character. In the mouth, it’s usually light bodied with medium to high acidity, characteristics that explain the freshness and vibrancy of Moschofilero.
Assyrtiko
Assyrtiko is probably the most recognizable Greek variety. It originates from the island of Santorini from where it became famous from both the dry and sweet wine styles. Assyrtiko is now cultivated also in the rest of Greece, escaping a bit from the austere mineral character of Santorini, adding to the wines more fruit and aromatic intensity. However, the common characteristics of Assyrtiko in whichever region it is cultivated, are the high acidities and the outstanding structure, which established the wine as one of consumers’ favorites.
Savvatiano
Savvatiano is one of the most widely planted Greek varieties but also one of the most underrated. The reason is that it was the basis for low quality retsina and other blends which harmed the reputation of Greek wine. In recent years however, the variety gained momentum, since under the right techniques gives wines that stand out for their balance and their ability to pair with most foods, while at the same time proving to have significant aging potential.
