Description: Malagousia is a rising white variety, which is gaining ground in the recent years, as it gives extremely interesting white wines with character and many other virtues. So while initially it was cultivated mainly in Macedonia and Central Greece, the cultivation nowadays has risen and it is now growing in much more areas of the country. The pale yellow wines which are given by Malagousia have intense aromatic content that refers to white flesh fruits such as peach, fresh aromatic herbs, green pepper and citrus, while some notes of muscat stand out. They usually have good body and satisfactory acidity. There is some interest in some barrel vinifications, and it seems that, if properly vinified it could evolve very well over time.
