Nostos Muscat of Spina Orange from Manousakis Winery is not just another orange wine. Made from Muscat of Spina grown in Chania, it fully embraces the aromatic intensity of the variety, delivering extra depth, structure and complexity. An orange wine for devoted fans of the style—but also for those looking to explore the world of skin‑contact wines through a more approachable expression.
When Theodoros (Ted) Manousakis returned from the United States, he decided to devote himself to winegrowing. Leaving nothing to chance, and working with an internationally respected scientific team, he selected the most suitable grape varieties for the slopes around Vatolakkos, Chania, based on detailed soil and climate studies.
Nostos Muscat of Spina Orange Manoussakis Winery comes from own‑rooted vines at 650 metres above sea level. This altitude produces grapes with highly concentrated aromas while preserving vibrant acidity. The harvest takes place at full ripeness, further intensifying the aromatic profile. In the winery, they apply skin contact for around 14 days, resulting in deeper colour and greater intensity. The wine then matures for 8 months in old French oak barrels before being bottled in truly limited quantities.
If you enjoy orange wines with personality and aren’t afraid to step outside the usual styles, this wine is for you.
