Vouni Panayia Woman In The Wine Press 2020
Morokanela ‘The Woman in the Old Wine Press’ is another fairly unusual and little seen native white variety. It possesses heavily palmated five-lobed leaves that are fluffy on their underside. Pale lemon green colour and bright acidity. Elegant bouquet of apricot, peach, mineral and some herbal notes with a finely textured and crispy finish. Goes well with grilled or baked fish and light pastas.
The associated wine showed a fragrant, stone-fruited and peach kernel character that finished with a lemony zip so typical of this grape. This variety has a bright future, particularly for those seeking a wine with charm, drinkability and food-friendliness.
