UWC Samos Grand Cru, 2021, 15%, 0.5 L

Classification – sweet white wine, PDO Samos.

Varietal Composition – white Muscat 100%.

Vineyard - selected semi-mountainous vineyards of Samos.

Vinification - a classic Vin Doux Naturel. In order to acquire the required degree of sweetness, during the fermentation a neutral vinic alcohol is added. Grapes are hand-picked and have a high concentration of sugar. This wine requires a very low yield (5 tons of grapes per ha).

Eye - its color is reminiscent of imperial topaz.

Nose - while its intense and harmonious nose expresses with absolute success the characteristics of primary and secondary aromas of the Muscat.

Palate - it is fresh and sweet with perfectly balanced acidity. Residual sugar 130 g/l.

Pairing Suggestions - it successfully accompanies light sweets with fruits, but it is also suitable for experiments with “salty” dishes with cream or yellow cheeses, or bechamel.  An unexpected combination is with rotisserie chicken, a true revelation!

Best served at 8-10 °C.
