• Varietal Composition: 100% Malagousia.
• Vinification Process: Fermented at low temperatures exclusively in stainless steel tanks. It undergoes short aging in contact with its fine lees, which imparts additional complexity, texture, and a fuller mouthfeel without overpowering the grape’s natural fruit profile.
• Appearance: Clear, pale lemon color.
• Aromatics: A vibrant, intense nose showcasing a bouquet of floral notes (like lily), fresh herbs (rosemary), stone fruits (peach, pear), and bright citrus aromas (tangerine, grapefruit).
• Palate: Dry and medium-bodied with a crisp, refreshing, well-balanced acidity and a long, highly aromatic finish.
• Analytical Structure: Typically features an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 12.5%, low residual sugar (~1.55 g/l), and a total acidity of around 5.80 g/l.

• Serving Temperature: Best served chilled between 8–13°C.
• Culinary Matches: This wine pairs exceptionally well with Mediterranean and Asian cuisines. Key pairings include:
  • Fresh seafood, oysters, and oily fish
  • Roasted poultry or chicken dishes
  • Pasta, risotto, and light dishes featuring creamy white sauces
  • Green salads, vegetable-forward plates, or appetizers seasoned with fresh green herbs.
