UWC Samos Anthemis, 2016, 15%, 0.5 L
Classification – sweet white wine, PDO Samos.
Varietal Composition - white Muscat 100%.
Vineyard - semi-mountainous vineyards, altitude 300-1000 m.
Vinification -
the
must is fortified by adding prior fermentation a neutral vinic alcohol, this
allows the wine to remain sweet. The wine ages in French oak barrels for 5
years in order to fully develop the aromas.
Eye - deep orange color with bronze hues.
Nose - aromas of honey, honeycomb, butterscotch candy, fruit preserves, cherries dipped in alcohol, background of cocoa and chocolate, compose a highly complex and profound bouquet that has been built layer by layer.
Palate - the wonderful balance of Samos Anthemis manages to maintain almost intact the primal freshness and the noble aromas of Muscat with the tertiary aromas of aging emerging and combined uniquely with those of dried fruits, tobacco and chocolate that give a truly “special” wine.
Pairing Suggestions - it is perfectly matched with haute confiserie creations with a strong sweet taste and aromatic complexity. Also with traditional oven sweets, aged yellow cheeses, tarts and sweets with dried nuts, fruit tarts, foie gras with sweet quince or fig, handmade ice cream. On its own, after the end of a dinner, it delightfully accompanies a light cigar.
Best served at 12-14 °C.
