Fruity Limnio and Syrah as reds. Floral Malagouzia, saline Assyrtiko, fresh Roditis as whites.
Neighbour of Naoussa.
Taut and mineral whites with exceptional cutting acidity and a lean palate, on intense aromas of lemon, grapefruit, green apple, white flowers, smoke and strongly marked volcanic saline-iodine notes.

Now exported to Australia, California and South Africa. Native Greek variety.
