2024 Malagousia, Ktima Gerovassiliou Wine Republic

2025 Malagousia, Ktima Gerovassiliou

Epanomi, Greece

Aegean Blossom

Fragrant, luminous and full of Mediterranean ease, the 2025 Malagousia is one of those whites that feels generous from the first swirl yet never loses its line. White pear, peach and lemon zest lead the way, followed by floral notes, a flicker of spice and that lovely flinty mineral edge that gives the wine both lift and shape. The palate is opulent but beautifully balanced, with ripe stone fruit and citrus wrapped around a mouthwatering core of freshness. There is softness here, certainly, but also real precision, and the finish carries on with a savoury, spicy, mineral note that makes the whole wine feel polished rather than simply aromatic.

For when: lunch runs long, the table is full of seafood, and the sun is still high.
Pairs with: grilled prawns, crab, lemony chicken dishes, or salads with herbs and salty cheeses.
If this wine were a place: a whitewashed terrace above the sea, with citrus on the table and warm air moving through the olive trees.

Ktima Gerovassiliou is one of Greece’s benchmark estates, based in Epanomi, where sea breezes and fossil-rich sandy soils help shape wines of freshness and detail. Malagousia is especially significant here, as the estate notes that Vangelis Gerovassiliou played a central role in saving the variety from near extinction, and today it remains one of the winery’s defining expressions. That sense of revival, identity and place comes through beautifully in the glass.

Ktima Gerovassiliou is the brainchild of Evangelos Gerovassiliou. He initiated the revival of the family vineyard by planting the nearly extinct Malagousia in 1981. At Ktima Gerovassiliou, the single, private 74-hectare vineyard is cultivated with great care and enthusiasm, which leads to constant research and experimentation with Greek and international varieties. New technological advances blend well with tradition throughout the vine growing and vinification processes to produce high-quality wines that carry all the distinct characteristics of the terroir of Epanomi. The climate is Mediterranean with mild winters and hot summers, tempered by sea breezes. The vineyard is surrounded on three sides by the sea, which is three kilometres away, while its west side faces the Thermaic Gulf, Mount Olympus and the beaches of Pieria. The vines are grown in soils that are mainly sandy with a few clayey substrates and calcareous rocks. It is rich in sea fossils, as the surrounding hilly area was formed by sea deposits. The floral variety of Viognier was initially planted on the estate in 1993, under the supervision of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The vineyard is cultivated in compliance with ecologically sustainable management practices.

The Malagousia (pronounced Mah-lah-gou-ZYA) grapes were macerated on the skins to extract the desired level of aromas and flavours. The must was static settled and the majority was fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperatures of between 18 to 20°C; while 20% was vinified in seasoned French oak. Clarification took place by gravity. The wine was then matured on the lees for approximately two months with regular bâtonnage (lees stirring) which imparted texture and complexity.
