17 Points, JancisRobinson.com "25% is aged in used oak. Definite varietal aroma but not over the top. Floral and peachy. Mouth-filling and still really fresh. Nicely rounded on the finish. Real presence in this wine from the person who rescued this variety, Evangelos Gerovassiliou. Drink 2026-2036" - Julia Harding MW, Apr 2026
94 Points, Decanter World Wine Awards 2026"A beautifully complex Malagousia crafted by the family that helped save the variety from extinction. Smoky white peach unfolds into yellow plum and citrus peel on the nose. More lychee and floral perfume emerge on the palate, with white blossom, green pear and further stone fruit notes to follow. Crisp acidity provides lift to the ripe white fruit and weighted texture. Finishing long and poised. Drink 2026-2036"

ABOUT THIS BRAND
Ktima Gerovassiliou
Ktima Gerovassiliou stands at the forefront of Greek winemaking, internationally acclaimed for its revival and mastery of the rare Malagousia grape. The estate's founder, Vangelis Gerovassiliou, played a pivotal role in rescuing this almost-extinct indigenous variety in the 1970s. Recognising its potential, he cultivated Malagousia at his family vineyards in Epanomi, near Thessaloniki, where it quickly gained critical and commercial acclaim.
This recognition is a top confirmation of decades of work by Ktima Gerovassiliou.
"Evangelos Gerovassiliou, credited with making Malagousia famous, is regarded as one of the best winemakers in Greece and arguably one of the finest in Europe. Many oenologists consider him to be the best and few can deny the "Gerovassiliou Midas touch" - Konstantinos Lazarakis MW
