Based in ruggedly beautiful Samos since 1934, the island's co-operative winery takes its role as keeper of the 3000-year-old local dessert winemaking tradition very seriously. Their vineyards, planted to the sensuously-scented Muscat grape, cloak the slopes of Mount Ampelos at breathtaking altitudes. Fortified to 15% and matured in oak casks for five years, this lovely wine offers a rich, sweet mouthful of raisined intensity and a dry, honeyed finish. A perfect pudding wine and the perfect partner with blue cheese.
