Malagousia Orange

We were among the first Greek winemakers to engage in biodynamic cultivation and low intervention vinification. At our winery in Goumenissa, we never stop experimenting, which is why we decided to deal with Malagouzia as well.

100% Malagouzia from grapes grown at an altitude of 350 meters and on sloping, clay and loamy soils. Biodynamic cultivation, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, staying with the lees for 30 days, maturing for 18 months in old oak barrels, no filtering and no addition of sulphite (only those produced naturally by the alcoholic fermentation process).

Drink it now at 10-12℃, although it ages easily for 4-5 years.

Accompanies perfectly shellfish, Asian cuisine, shrimps with spicy sauces, Indian and Thai cuisine, as well as traditional dishes of Greek and Mediterranean cuisine.

Nimbus Albus

The label is a painting showing our lakes during a cloudy day. Nimbus in Latin means cloud and Albus white. The wines of the Nimbus series are mild intervention wines, unfiltered, which gives them a hazy appearance and a soft and full feel, somewhat like tasting a cloud. Own vineyard in Oreokastro, Thessaloniki, certified organic and biodynamic, where the principles of permaculture are applied.

Malagouzia and Assyrtiko in equal parts. Each variety ferments separately, spontaneously, in stainless steel tanks. After the malolactic conversion is complete, they are blended, to remain for another 3 months in the tank in contact with the fine lees. It is bottled unfiltered.

Drink now at 10℃ and for the next 2 years.

Goes great with fried fish, mussel paella, chicken schnitzel.

Malagousia

Our Malagousia is a delicate combination of taste and finesse, giving a complex and highly aromatic wine. On its label appears one of the rarest bird species in the world, the Kefaloudi (Oxyura leucocephala), with a population that does not exceed 13,000 worldwide. In Greece we only find it in Lake Vistonida, a rare bird, like our beloved Malagousia!

Grapes are picked by hand and carried in small baskets. Classic white vinification. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging for 2 months in tank. It matures on fine lees for 4 months.

It is now comfortably drunk at 8℃, but you can keep it for 2-3 years in your cellar and taste its evolution.

Pairs beautifully with shellfish and seafood, light vegetable tarts, grilled dishes and tempura.
