Wine Production
The Malagousia grapes are fermented in INOX stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature in order to preserve the varietal aromatics. Vinified in a dry style, this wine bears the regional Attiki PGI appellation designation.
About the Vineyard
The Malagouzia vineyards used for the Papagiannakos Kalogeri are located in southeastern Attica at an altitude of 165 feet. The vineyard is relatively young, with an average of 20-years-old, and has a north-facing exposure. The vineyard is farmed without irrigation, resulting in low-yielding vines that produce grapes with rich, concentrated fruit flavors.
