Where does it come from?
“HerImitis-The Hermit” originates from a remote vineyard of biodynamic cultivation at an elevation of 600 m. It is a wine intensely aromatic, expressive, mineral, earthy and bucolic, with impressing iodized notes and lasting aftertaste. It has fermented in small tanks and matured in barrels for 12 months. It is pairs perfectly with all preparations containing mushrooms, such as mushroom soufflé or risotto but also beef fillet in a mushroom sauce.
The variety...
The need of Muscat White grape for sunlight is essential. It thrives when the sun warms up its small berries, bestowing on their thick skin a freckle-dotted yellow-gold colour and uniquely concentrating the variety’s aromas and flavour. As a result, small-berried Muscat White yields dessert wines of international stature (“Muscat of Patras”; “Muscat of Rio Patras”; “Muscat of Rhodes”; “Muscat of Samos”; and “Muscat of Cephalonia”).
Discover the unique character of the grape by choosing one of Cinque’s wine tastings or enjoy it by the glass at wine bars in Athens.
The winery...
The UWC Samos is one of the oldest cooperatives in Greece and it is included in one of the biggest wineries nationally! Samos wine is one of the basic “Greek wine ambassadors” abroad, with exports all over the world. Nowadays, 2200 producers participate in the Cooperative as members.
It was founded in 1934 after actions taken by the vine growers of the island. The history of the Samos Cooperative through time proves that the alliance of the vine growers was a strategically important move for the preservation of viticulture and the protection of the producers’ income.
