What a nice Muscat de Samos. Salty, dreamy (pun intended) and expressive. Jerez notes mixed with elderflower blossoms, white cherry, canned pineapple and bitter herbs. Delicious and fresh palate with flavours of pomelo, seawater, and white cherry.
About
Hüpnos (sleep in Greek) is 100% Muscat de Samos (aka Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains) from Karvounis and Agïi Sarandides. The vines grow on volcanic soils. One-half of the grapes are macerated on skins for 40 days and aged in stockinger barrels. All other grapes are pressed by their own weight (kudos to gravity), aka "free-run juicy", and aged in stainless steel tanks.
