Malagouzia, Gerovassiliou Winery, Thessanloniki, Greece, 2022

The Malagouzia grape was rescued from near extinction by Vangelis Gerovassiliou when
he planted his vineyard in Epanomi in Northern Greece. In the Gerovassiliou winery new
technological advances blend well with tradition in the vine growing and vinification processes to produce high-quality wines that carry all the distinct characteristics of the PGI terroir of Epanomi. On their 950 acre single vineyard, the goal is to produce quality wines with the typical characteristics of the microclimate and terroir. The climate is Mediterranean, with mild winters and hot summers, moderated by the sea breezes on all sides.
