Gerovasiliou Malagousia – Protected Geographical Indication Epanomi
A Rare Greek Gem Saved from Extinction
Gerovasiliou Malagousia is more than just a wine—it’s a triumph of preservation. This elegant white wine is crafted exclusively from the Malagousia grape, a rare Greek variety that was nearly lost. Thanks to the dedication of renowned winemaker Vangelis Gerovassiliou, this indigenous grape now thrives again in the Epanomi region of Northern Greece.
Bright, Fresh, and Complex
This white wine boasts a luminous straw-yellow colour with light green hues. Its nose is expressive and aromatic, featuring ripe pear, tropical mango, and vibrant citrus. A touch of floral freshness complements the fruity core, creating a layered and inviting bouquet.
Gerovasiliou Malagousia undergoes careful vinification to highlight its complexity. The grapes experience cold skin contact before fermentation, preserving delicate aromas. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel at 18 °C, while a portion is aged in French oak. This dual technique gives the wine both finesse and body.
Lees contact for several months adds texture and depth. The result is a rich, rounded palate with vivid citrus notes. Lemon peel flavours brighten the mouthfeel and lead to a refined, lingering finish.
Ideal Pairings for Every Occasion
This Malagousia pairs beautifully with Mediterranean and Asian cuisine. It complements seafood, poultry, and pasta with light sauces. It also enhances fresh vegetable salads and dishes with subtle herbs. Its crisp acidity and full body make it a versatile companion at the table.
Serve chilled at 8–10 °C for the best experience. Whether you’re enjoying grilled sea bass or a chicken stir-fry, this wine adapts seamlessly.
