Origin & Craftsmanship:
Hailing from the sun-drenched vineyards of Sérres, Greece—nestled between Macedonia and Thrace—this 2022 Malagousia by Nerantzi is a testament to the varietal’s revival. Grown in loamy soils renowned for their mineral-rich character, the wine is crafted entirely in stainless steel to preserve its vibrant purity. Awarded 90 points by Wine & Spirits, it’s a standout choice for enthusiasts seeking authentic Greek terroir.

Flavor Profile & Pairing:
Pour a glass and marvel at its luminous yellow hue. The nose bursts with aromatic exotic fruits, ripe melon, and juicy peach, leading to a palate that balances fresh fruit flavors with zesty acidity and a lingering, mineral-driven finish. Critics like Lisa Granik, MW, praise its “crystal-clear purity,” while NYC sommeliers recommend pairing it with seafood dishes—think scallops with fava beans or zesty striped bass ceviche. Its versatility shines alongside light salads, creamy cheeses, or sunset aperitifs.
