FRAGKOSPITO WHITE 2016 – NIKOS GAVALAS

Nikos Gavalas is back with a brand new white wine, Fragkospito White 2016 named after the vineyard with the characteristic half–collapsed country house. The story begins in 1906 when his grandfather, Emmanouil Gavalas, planted the first grapevines and by using the village' s minoan sculptured wine presses he produced wine for the local market.

The third generation continues that today producing internationally awarded wines from indigenous and foreign varieties. The white sibling of our beloved red Fragkospito is produced of the blending of two intensely aromatic indigenous varieties, Malvazia Aromatica and Moschato Spinas.

The explosive result in aromas and flavours made the botilia.gr team to put many stars next to its name!

In the glass, its colour is light yellow with greenish highlights.

In the nose, an aromatic party of white–fleshed and yellow fruit are combined with tropical and flowery aromas in an explosive bouquet. Peach, apricot and ripe pear meet pineapple and melon in a jasmin, gardenia and rose backgraound.

In the mouth, the body is of medium size with balanced acidity which grants lemon sense to the peach and jasmin that stand out in the oral aromas. The long lasting aftertaste leaves a fruity sense which lingers.
