Grapes

Muscat Blanc

Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains is a white wine grape of Greek origin that is a member of the Muscat family of Vitis vinifera. Its name comes from its characteristic small berry size and tight clusters. While technically a white grape, there are strains of Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains vines that produce berries that are pink or reddish-brown. The same vine could potentially produce berries of one colour one year and a different colour the next. Variants, where the differing grape colour is stable, are typically classified as separate grape varieties Muscat Rouge à Petit Grains for red skin colour and Muscat Rose à Petit Grains for pink skin colour.

Producer

Tetramythos

Established in 1999, Tetramythos winery has been the product of collaboration between the viticulturist brothers Aristides and Stathis Spanos and the oenologist Panagiotis Papagiannopoulos. Following the first wine releases in that year, new vineyards were planted in the following years and a modern winery was completed in 2004. The vineyards are situated on the slopes of the Mountains of Aigialeia, at an altitude of 450-1050m and cultivated organically. They benefit from a mountainous microclimate, limestone soil and exposure to the Gulf of Corinth breeze.
