ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Grape
Malagousia
Malagousia is an aromatic white variety grown primarily in Central Greece and Macedonia, Greece. The variety was rescued from near extinction in 1983 by the winemaker Evangelos Gerovassiliou, after he planted out his vineyard at Epanomi, on the Halkidiki peninsula, with the variety. Malagousia is best known for its citrus and peach characteristics, often showing melon and pear flavours on the palate with exotic fruit notes. It is often used as a blending agent, most notably with Assyrtiko, to which it adds middle body weight.

It lies on the Slopes Knimidos, near Atalanti, at 440m altitude from sea level and receives the cooling breezes originating both from the Aegean Sea and the Northern Euboean Gulf, as well as the mountain mass of Parnassus.
