A Short Story
The sweet wine Samos Vin Doux (vintage 2018) of the UWC SAMOS was awarded the GRAND GOLD medal in the wine competition Selections Mondiales des Vins, making it stand out among 1.564 wines from 34 countries.
With a wine traditional over 3.000 years, Aggaios was the first wine-grower in Samos island. We have mythical reports which indicate the help that the Samian provided to Dionysus to win the Amazons. After his win, Dionysus give the Samians the climate to produce the muscate wine!
In Samos, the White Muscat grape reigns king. Also known as the Muscat blanc à petits grains in Greece it sometimes goes by the name of moschoudi.
This is a noble variety fairly popular around the Mediterranean basin and widely planted in other parts of Greece, as well. However, only in Samos does it produce the fat, luscious wines for which the island is known.
The White Muscat grape covers about 98% of Samos’ vineyards. The remaining is shared by red grape varietals like Ritino, Fokiano and Avgoustiatis.
