Intense nose with the floral fragrances of the Muscat with impressive fruity references (melon, peach) and aromas of rose, apricot and lemon.

In the mouth, the character of the Muscat is evident with delicate flavors and light, refreshing acidity with a long aftertaste. The fruity element dominates, followed by the floral notes of the variety (sweet rose).

Psiles Korfes (High Peaks) is an aromatic, pleasant wine to be enjoyed at all times. It is an ideal match for elegant dishes, sophisticated and aromatic recipes from the Greek and international cuisine as well as seafood dishes and sweet and sour delicacies. It can also be served on its own, or as an aperitif with fruit or cheese.

The love of Muscat White for sunlight is common knowledge. It thrives when the sun warms up its small berries, bestowing on their thick skin a freckle-dotted yellow-gold color and uniquely concentrating the variety’s aromas and flavor. As a result, small-berried Muscat White yields dessert wines of international stature (“Muscat of Patras”;“Muscat of Rio Patras”; “Muscat of Rhodes”; “Samos” ; and “Muscat of Cephalonia”).

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, 2.200 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.

The UWC Samos receives the grapes, produces the wine and trades almost the entire production of the island. In search of constant modernization, it invests in technology and know-how, in harmonious combination with traditional viticulture and winemaking and in compliance with ISO and HACCP certifications.
