UWC Samos Nectar 2011 (500ml)

Its color is deep amber, with beautiful orange hints, with a nose of raisins, dried fruits, honey and dried nuts. Good acidity, long aftertaste with smoky notes and macaroons. It maneuvers between aromas of raisins, plums and roasted cinnamon.  In the mouth one can detect hints of toffee, raisins, walnuts, mature oranges, cloves, intertwined with sweetness and “coated” with an amazing minerality that gives a completely new dimension to the sweet sun-dried wines.

This wine is best paired with desserts, but it can also be a good pairing with savory dishes. It can also be served with pungent blue cheese.

Nectar is a wine style that hails from Samos. The wine is produced from Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains, which is locally known as Moschato Aspro. The style is made with late-harvested and sun-dried grapes, and the wines have to be oak-aged for at least three years.
