Staff Pick Notes

Mountainous Greek Macedonia is the back drop for this aromatic gem from Agratia winery. Vineyards are in grown in a mild climate with a cool wet winter. An intriguingly full Malagousia (an ancient varietal thought to be extinct until it was "rediscovered" in the early eighties) blended with highly acidic Assyrtiko. This strikes a nice, lean balance. Flavors of ripe peach and raw honey on the palette are contrasted with a long stone-like finish. This wine is an ideal compliment to an array of mezze from salty fish to sour olives to tangy goat cheese.

Glossary

Malagousia

Pronounced "mah lah gou ZYA", this Greek varietal is making a return from the brink of extinction. This intensely aromatic grape variety makes elegant, full-bodied white wines possessing aromas of exotic spices and fruits. If you like Viognier or Muscat, Malagousia is the grape for you.

Assyrtiko

Pronounced "a SEER tee ko". This white varietal is native to Santorini and the other Aegean Islands. Used to make crisp dry wines similar in style to dry Riesling, it is often blended with other varietals - both indigenous and international - such as Sauvignon Blanc. This grape is also used to make the popular Greek dessert wine, Vinsanto.
