Ktima Gerovassiliou Malagousia 2018
At Ktima Gerovassiliou, the single, private vineyard is cultivated with great care and enthusiasm, which leads to the production of high quality wines that carry all the distinct characteristics of the terroir of Epanomi. The vineyard is surrounded on three sides by the sea, which is just 3km away, while its west side faces Mount Olympus and the beaches of Pieria. The Malagousia (pronounced Mah-lah-gou-ZYA) displays expressive and complex aromas of white pear, mango and lemon zest combined with floral hints. Delightful and refreshing on the palate it is rich and harmonious with a spicy, mouthwatering finish with a delicious flinty, mineral character.
