DESCRIPTION
Made from 100% Muscat of Alexandria, a PDO grape variety of the island of Lemnos, with cultivation records stretching back into history for millennia. Delicate lemon, grapefruit, jasmine & wild rose aromas and beautiful acidity, combined with substantial mouth feel and an interesting suspicion of sweetness. Very pleasing!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Grape
Muscat of Alexandria
Muscat of Alexandria is an ancient grape variety used both for table grapes and wine production. Despite its long history, the variety remains rather undistinguished and lies in the shadow of its finer, more aromatic cousin Muscat Blanc a Petits Grains. Nevertheless, there are a handful of wine regions that make high-quality wines from Muscat of Alexandria, most often sweet or fortified styles.
