LIMNOS WINES

Limnos Muscat

Limnos Muscat

The unique climate of the Aegean and the volcanic soils of Limnos give the aromatic Muscat of Alexandria variety a special character which is captured in this famous, unique, sweet wine from the island.

  • Varietal composition: 100% Muscat of Alexandria
  • Best served at: 8° C
  • Alcohol: 15% VOL
  • Best served with: desserts, fruits and sweets
  • Organoleptic characteristics: Golden-yellow, bright hue. Strong scent of grapes with fruity hints of citrus fruits, elegant notes of bitter orange confit and sweet apricot. Flavour of overripe fruit, honey and dried fruit with an enduring after-taste that lingers in the mouth. A medium bodied, elegantly flavoured wine thanks to a slight bitter note of citrus peel balancing out the sweetness despite a slight under acidity.
