Ktima Zafeirakis, offers three different Malagouzia labels with distinct growing and winemaking elements. Enjoy, without a second thought, the classic Malagousia of the Estate, the Malagousia Microcosmos or the Malagousia Natura and discover the best that the dynamic terroir of Tirnavos has to offer in your glass.
The characteristics of Malagouzia
One of the most distinctive characteristics of Malagousia is its seductive aromas.
On the nose, it reveals citrus notes such as lemon and lime, along with subtle floral and herbal scents. This aromatic richness makes it an excellent choice for those seeking a wine that stimulates the senses.
On the palate, Malagousia offers a refreshing and lively experience. Its taste harmoniously combines citrus zest with stone fruit such as peach and apricot, while a touch of herbs adds complexity. Its balanced acidity makes it ideal to accompany a wide variety of dishes.
Match
Malagousia wines are versatile and can satisfy different tastes. The less aromatic and more lively expressions of the variety are ideal as an aperitif or to accompany vegetables, fish and seafood. Its more intense and fuller expressions go well with poultry dishes, white meats, but also with flavours from Indian and Lebanese cuisine.
Malagousia is an excellent wine, but also an opportunity to discover this summer, the diversity and richness of the Greek vineyard.
