The orange Malagousia from the A-Grafo series by Kontozisis Organic Vineyards is an expression of the varietal driven by minerality and sharp but expertly controlled acidity.
Grown entirely organically, with no irrigation or fertilizers, the grapes get their crisp minerality from the mainland terroir. The single vineyard that produces the Malagousia grapes, is located at an altitude of 200 meters in the warm and humid Mediterranean climate, and its outline can be seen on the label.
The grapes are harvested by hand and the whole bunches are subject to spontaneous fermentation on Inox tanks for 20 days and maceration with full skin contact for 30 days on steel tanks. the wine is matured for 6 months in concrete eggs. The wine is then bottled with no filtering or clarification.
A-Grafo Malagousia is a clean, mineral-driven orange, heavy on the floral notes The Kontozisis team have succeeded in making a beautiful and expressive Malagousia, that keeps true to the crisp acidity and well-balanced hint of petroleum, that is the signature of the varietal.
