WINE DESCRIPTION
Samos Vin Doux is a sweet wine produced by the Samos Cooperative, located on the Greek island of Samos. The wine is made from the Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains grape variety, grown on steep terraced vineyards that benefit from the island's volcanic and calcareous soil and Mediterranean climate. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected to ensure only the best fruit is used. Samos Vin Doux is a perfect dessert wine, pairing well with fruit-based desserts, cheese, and nuts. Its unique flavor profile and high quality make it a must-try for any wine enthusiast.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This sweet and unique wine from Samos is a superb example of a Vin Doux Naturel.It has a delightful honeyed nose, with notes of candied citrus peel and dried apricots. On the palate, this wine is medium-bodied and well-balanced, with a pleasant sweetness and a rich, luscious texture. Hints of cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg linger on the finish.
