Details

Characteristic aromas and flavours of acacia flowers, rose petals, orange peel. Also the notes of aged white wines with honey, raisins, dried figs & apricot, caramel and dried fruits. The acidity is well balanced with the sweetness, offering a long and generous finish.

From Samos this wine is a speciality. Ripe Muscat grapes are sun dried, then slowly fermented, leaving a sweet wine with enough alcohol to balance the sweetness. The wine is then aged for 19 month in small French oak barrels. Even with 8 years of ageing the incredible acidity keeps this unctuous wine very fresh.

THE WINERY

Nopera’s story began in the middle of the nineteenth century, when the Nopera family left Malta for Samos. A few decades later, the family produced a high-quality, sweet Samian wine made from white Muscat, which they exported to Noilly Pratt of Marseilles, a company still renowned for its exceptional vermouth. Eventually, Nopera became the first private winery on the island. Now they own three vineyards, covering 4 hectares, across Samos. They preserve the unique taste and rich history of their wine by focusing on organic viticulture. Following mild vivification methods means the wines retain all the pure qualities that come from their indigenous variety. Nopera has combined tradition and innovation to produce the famous sweet Samos Muscat as well as a range of dry wines.
