Metaxa 5 Stars (70cl)

A Greek brandy made by double distillation in a still from Savatiano, Sultanina and Corinth black grapes, blended with Moscato wines from Limnos and Samos and a mixture of aromatic herbs. It is aged in oak barrels for at least 5 years. The nose offers aromas of strawberries, cream and muscat grape. On the palate it is soft and balanced between an initial sweetness and a persistent acidity. It finishes with a medium persistent spicy note from wood maturation. It is served neat or with ice, and pairs well with roasted chestnuts, dried grapes and nuts.
