Domaine Papagiannakos 'Kalogeri' Malagouzia 2024

You'll get peaches and apricots with a touch of pineapple and apple when you first sniff this one. It's made with a native Greek grape, Malagouzia, that nearly went extinct but is now having a bit of a comeback. The grapes get picked by hand and carefully looked after, so all those lovely fruit flavours shine through. It's soft and rounded in your mouth, all about those stone fruits. Plus, it's got a fresh, zingy feel and a nice finish that sticks around.

A subtly aromatic white which is perfect for a simple lunch of grilled fish, or perhaps some fresh prawns with a squeeze of lemon.

Domaine Papagiannakos sits in the heart of Attica, just east of Athens, where vine-covered hills meet the Aegean breeze. Founded in 1919, the estate is now run by Vassilis Papagiannakos, who brings fresh energy to this third-generation family winery. Old vines of Savatiano and Malagouzia thrive in the region’s dry, sunlit soils, producing wines full of clarity and character. Tradition runs deep here, but the approach is forward-looking—sustainable in the vineyard and modern in the cellar. A true reflection of Attica, past and present.
