Variety

This dessert wine is made exclusively from Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains grapes, a variety prized for its aromatic intensity and natural sweetness.

Production

The wine is crafted using traditional methods specific to Samos, involving late harvest of Muscat grapes followed by controlled fermentation to preserve natural sugars. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks to maintain freshness and aromatic complexity.
