Malagousia is a white wine grape variety that is native to Greece. It was nearly extinct until it was rediscovered and revived in the 1980s.

Since then, Malagousia has gained popularity and is now widely planted in various Greek wine regions. Malagousia wines are known for their aromatic and expressive character.

They typically have medium to full body with moderate acidity. The flavour profile of Malagousia wines often includes intense floral notes, such as jasmine and orange blossom, as well as citrus fruits like lemon and grapefruit. Some examples may also exhibit hints of exotic fruits, herbs, and a touch of minerality.

The wines made from Malagousia are generally dry, but there are some late harvest or off-dry versions available as well. It is a versatile grape that can be vinified into both still and sparkling wines.

Overall, Malagousia wines offer a unique and distinctive drinking experience, showcasing the vibrant and aromatic qualities of this Greek grape variety.
