The 2016 Malagouzia Kalogeri is all unoaked and comes in at 12.2% alcohol. Sourced from 25-year-old vines in Attica, this nicely priced white is rather impressive this year. Solid and reasonably concentrated for a wine that is elegant in style (and compared to what we often see in this grape), this adds bright acidity and retains the normal, enticing aromatics that the grape tends to deliver. It also adds refinement and finesse, giving it a sophisticated feel. This is simply a pleasure to drink. Typically, Malagousia does not age so well. This has a shot, though, and it may do better than anticipated. Its highest and best use will still be drinking it as young as possible.

Country: Greece

As one of the oldest wine producing countries in the world, Greece has millenia of experience and expertise when it comes to viticulture, and has developed a set of flavors and characteristics which are found nowhere else on earth. The ancient Greeks revered and deified wine, and were the first true innovators in the history of wine, adding everything from seawater to honey and spices in order to find exciting new taste combinations and aromas. Today, Greek wines are just as varied, although far more refined and sophisticated than their ancient counterparts. The practice of enhancing Greek wines with aromatic substances never left the country, though, as can be seen in the popular Retsina wines, which use pine resin to provide their unique taste and aroma combinations. There is far more to Greek wine than merely Retsina, however, and the vast variety on offer is a testament to the expertise of Greek wineries making the most of the wonderful climate, terrain and grape varietals they work with.
