Description
Ktima Gerovassiliou Malagousia is an iconic, deeply expressive white wine produced on the slopes of Epanomi in Northern Greece. Crafted by master oenologist Vangelis Gerovassiliou, who single-handedly rescued the ancient Malagousia grape from near extinction in the late 20th century, this benchmark bottling represents the true revival of a Greek treasure. Blending vibrant Mediterranean aromatics with textural richness, it offers a sophisticated, world-class white wine experience.
Why You'll Love It
This is a captivatingly aromatic and rounded dry white that provides a brilliant alternative to Viognier or Sauvignon Blanc. Grown on coastal estate vineyards surrounded by marine soils, the grapes develop extraordinary aromatic complexity balanced by crisp, sea-breeze freshness. Partial fermentation in French oak combined with extended lees aging bestows a lush, silky mouthfeel without masking the vibrant stone fruit and citrus core, creating an effortlessly balanced wine of great poise and appeal.
Vineyard & Production
The fruit is harvested from the estate-owned, single-block vineyard at Papamola in Epanomi, where vines thrive on sandy, limestone-rich soils under the cooling maritime influences of the Thermaic Gulf. Following a cold skin-maceration to extract maximum varietal fragrance, fermentation takes place primarily in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats at 18ºC, with a small portion fermented in French oak barrels. The wine matures on its fine lees for several months, acquiring enhanced body, structure, and a supple, creamy texture prior to bottling.
Tasting Notes
Displaying a brilliant straw-yellow hue with lively greenish reflections, this wine opens with an exotic and alluring bouquet of ripe pear, mango, white peach, and orange blossom, alongside subtle herbal notes of green pepper and jasmine. On the palate, it is unctuous, richly textured, and medium-bodied, bursting with succulent orchard fruit and zesty lemon peel flavours. A bright line of crisp acidity balances the weight, leading into a long, fragrant, and exquisitely rounded finish.
Perfect Pairings
Thanks to its vibrant acidity, aromatic lift, and creamy texture, this versatile Greek white is an outstanding partner for Mediterranean and Asian cuisine. It pairs magnificently with grilled sea bass, pan-seared scallops, lobster tail, and garlic prawns. It is also a delightful match for roasted poultry, seafood risottos, pasta with light herb sauces, fresh goat's cheese salads, and fragrant Thai or Vietnamese dishes.
