Product Description
WHITE DESSERT WINE CAO* LIMNOS *Controlled Appellation of Origin Alcoholic Strength: 15%vol A dessert wine that only the Muscat of Limnos grape variety can yield. Crafted from overripe grapes, it is harvested late and undergoes careful vinification. The result is this irresistible sweet wine. A brilliant golden-yellow in colour it becomes the focus of interest at first glance and masterfully embraces the primary aromas and plethoric taste of the charismatic Muscat of Alexandria grape variety. It is evocative of sweet, tree-ripened, white-fleshed fruits with apples and quinces forth and center ideally matched to the sweet aroma of apricot preserves. Blessed with superb attributes, it has a rich, full mouth and skillfully balances sweetness and refreshing acidity. Its lingering aftertaste is followed by a pleasantly bitterish sense in the finish. Enjoy it as an aperitif or next to luscious desserts, fruit salads, and soft-ripened white cheeses.

Product History
Most of the Greek white grape varieties have roots that are lost in the mists of time. They give us wines that are easily identified by the distinctive elegant aromas of citrus blossoms and ripe yellow fruit, such as lemon, lime or Peach and yellow apple. The level of fruitiness that you taste in a wine leads to very different growing regions.
