Product Description
The "Dekaraki Malagouzia" is produced only from Malagouzia grapes and has a very special, elegant, floral aromatic character. The Malagouzia variety can be described as the noble variety of the Greek vineyards. It has a strong aromatic character like Muscat, but very different, as it is distinguished by its fine and elegant aromas. In the 1970s, the variety was in danger of disappearing. Today, through many efforts, Malagouzia is again available, acquiring this scarce character that makes it so unique!
Malagouzia is a white grape variety, which is very sensitive. The harvest of the variety is usually done towards the end of August and the production process is the same as that of Muscat. The delicate and elegant aromas of Malagouzia are perfectly highlighted through the multiple distillation in traditional Greek handmade copper stills, giving this way a fine distillate.

Product History
Tsipouro is served in small cups or glasses, neat and cool. It's usually enjoyed as an aperitif, a digestive and an accompaniment to heavy and spicy "meze" snacks (cheese, sausages etc). Tsipouro is a distillate entirely produced from grapes. The base of the drink is the pomace (skins, pips, stalks), which is left to ferment for a month for its sugars to turn into alcohol. Then the mixture is twice distilled in copper stills with the addition of various flavors (anise, fennel etc.) in quantities and proportions that are usually a secret of each producer. However there can also be found varieties of plain tsipouro without any other admixture. The distillation is divided into 3 parts: the first is called “head“, the second “heart“ and the third “queue“.
