Mylonas Malagousia 2024

Mylonas Malagousia 2024

Prices start from £17.00 per bottle Buying options
Description

Malagousia is an ancient indigenous Greek variety which makes excellent, highly aromatic wines. Mylonas have created an elegant expression of this grape, somewhat more delicate than your usual Malagousia, but with all the beautiful varietal aromas present in the wine. Notes of ripe stone fruit, such as peaches and mangoes are combined with hints of spring flowers and aromatic herbs. The palate is rich, with vivid acidity and a lemony aftertaste.

The grapes have been sourced from 45-50 years old vines with extremely low yields. Mylonas Malagousia spent three months on lees, obtaining a round palate and a mouth-coating feel. Great match for Greek meze, seafood pasta and risotto, vegetable pies and artichokes.

Peter Richards MW, Decanter Magazine, 89 points:

Greek wine totally deserves a place on your summer table and this perfumed, exotic Malagousia is a great point of departure. It has that wonderful Greek ability to marry striking scents (here, orange pith, rose petal and fresh grapes) with a dry, invigorating, mineral and food-friendly palate profile. Get that calamari on the BBQ.

Wine Origins

Greece

Even though Greece is often referred to as an 'emerging' winemaking country, it is actually one of the most ancient wine cultures in the world. Moreover, Greece takes credit for spreading the art of winemaking (and wine drinking!) across the Mediterranean and the Black sea regions. In fact, it was the ancient Greeks who taught the French and the Italians how to make wine. In a word, Greece truly is one of the countries of the Wine Origins!

Mylonas

Ran by three brothers, Mylonas is a small boutique family winery in eastern Attica. They make characterful wines out of native Greek grapes, sourced from extremely low-yielding old vines. The story of Mylonas winery started all the way back in 1917, when Antonis Mylonas planted the first family vineyard in eastern Attica. He later passed the torch to his son Dimitris, who continued the family business.

Malagousia

One of the most acclaimed Greek grapes, Malagousia makes world class aromatic white wines. This indigenous white grape is largely associated with the country’s wine renaissance. Malagousia is an ancient variety, supposedly originating from Central Greece. By the 1970s Malagousia plantings became almost extinct. The grape was revived thanks to the work of university professors and some of the top growers.
