Limnia Ghi - Chatzigeorgiou

Limnia Ghi from the Northern Aegean wine-growing region reveals itself in the glass in a bright golden yellow. Poured into a white wine glass, this Old World white wine presents wonderfully complex aromas of peach, rose, and banana, rounded off by further fruity nuances.

Chatzigeorgiou Limnia Ghi presents itself to the wine lover as delightfully dry. This white wine never appears coarse or austere, as one might expect from a wine. On the palate, the texture of this well-balanced white wine is wonderfully crisp, silky, and smooth. The finish of this white wine from the Northern Aegean wine region, more precisely from Limnos, ultimately convinces with a beautiful aftertaste. The finish is also accompanied by mineral notes from the volcanic rock-dominated soils.

Vinification of Chatzigeorgiou Limnia Ghi

This white wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety, namely Muscat d’Alexandrie. For this exceptionally well-balanced varietal wine from Chatzigeorgiou, only immaculate harvested grapes were used. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in the Northern Aegean. Here, the vines sink their roots deep into soils of volcanic rock. After harvest, the grapes are brought to the press house as quickly as possible. There they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, Limnia Ghi can continue to harmonize for several months on the fine lees.

Food pairing recommendation for Chatzigeorgiou Limnia Ghi

This white wine from Greece is best enjoyed well chilled at 8–10°C. It is perfectly suited as an accompanying wine to asparagus salad with quinoa, cod with cucumber-mustard vegetables, or spaghetti with caper-tomato sauce.
