WHITE DRY MUSCAT OF SPINAS PGI CHANIA

	Variety A clone of Muscat found in Crete. Specifically, the village of Spina in the prefecture of Chania is its place of origin. The vineyard ‘Plai’, 29 years old, is located at 540 m, above the village of Palaia Roumata in the municipality of Platanias.
	Winemaking Destemming is carried out with a light crushing of the berries by hand. Fermentation starts spontaneously. During fermentation, the juice remains together with the skins (orange winemaking). After its completion, the wine is separated from the skins, with half stored in a tank, while the other half ages in used French oak barrels for two months.
	Tasting notes & Food pairing Aromatic profile intensely herbal with notes of beeswax. On the palate, floral with mild tannins reminiscent of chamomile tea. It can accompany a wide range of cheeses, pies with wild greens, and other aromatic dishes. Serving temperature: 11–12 °C.
