Mouchtaro

The grape distillate Mouchtaro is produced through the fermentation and distillation of whole grapes from the rare Mouchtaro variety. These grapes, intended for this specific distillate, undergo cold extraction without the presence of oxygen, are not pressed, and fermentation continues in a fully controlled environment with a stable low temperature to preserve their juices and thus the character of the variety.

It is complex with a strong aromatic bouquet of violet and clove enriched with notes of ripe red forest fruits and currants. On the palate, it is rich, oily, creamy, and simultaneously smooth despite its 40% alcohol content, showcasing that the distillation was done with care, knowledge, and respect for the variety—the rare Mouhtaro cultivated only in the Valley of the Muses! It features rich spicy notes dominated by cinnamon, caramelized fig, cherry, with a slightly oily and peppery finish.

The ideal serving temperature is between 12-15 °C (not too cold to avoid losing its aromatic elements).

It pairs wonderfully as an aperitif with small bites of salmon, Naxos kefalotyri cheese, and freshly grated ginger. It marries excellently with sushi and is provocative alongside traditional loukoum or a Turkish baklava… it delights with a spoon sweet made from grapes, figs, or quince and surprises when paired with a piece of prosciutto !
