Domaine Papagiannakos was established in 1919 in the heart of the plain of Mesogaia, Attica - just 30km from the shadow of the Acropolis. Third generation winemaker, Vassilis Papagiannakos, was born and bred in Markopoulo, and grew up around the family winery. At that time the Savatiano variety was the winery's sole focus - but later Malagouzia was introduced, along with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and other varieties.
The grapes are sourced from 5 blocks of Malagouzia - harvested by hand in mid August. The grapes are destemmed before gentle pressing. Classic white wine vinification then takes place - in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Fermentation takes around 20 days.
Domaine Papagiannakos Kalogeri Malagouzia wine is appealing aromatic, yet zippy. An overtly aromatic nose with lifted white peach, apricot and white blossom aromas. Broad with stone fruit and mandarin oil characters, and ripe, zesty and fresh lemon acidity. Fresh and textural with good length. Sounds like a cliche, but would be great with some lightly battered calamari!
