LIAKOU ASPROPARIS MALAGOUSIA PGI Meteora

Malagousia (or Malagouzia) is an ancient, noble Greek variety that was once thought extinct until its rediscovery in the 1980s. This wine is named for the asproparis: an endangered vulture native to the Balkans. The wine is robust yet elegant and bountifully aromatic, with sugges tions of lemon blossom, fresh pear and white peach. Pour with seafood, mild curries, or veggie dishes. Aromatic & Flavourful 51493 (XD) 750 ml $21.95 1

From a renowned producer, this wine is a top example of the ability of Riesling to express the character of the soil. It’s grown in Devon slate residual soils, which it clearly communicates along with zesty grapefruit, white peach, and orange zest. Brilliant acidity creates a crisp, clear finish. Pair with grilled sausages, turkey burgers or seafood. OŸ-dry & Fruity 596601 (M) 750 ml $17.95 2
