Château Le Grand Blanc Domaine Porto Carras
€21,60
Château Le Grand Blanc by Domaine Porto Carras is a white wine with serious structure, yet without losing its freshness and energy. It brings together Malagousia, Assyrtiko and Limnio in a distinctive blend that is clearly rooted in Sithonia and shows how exciting a Greek white wine can become when it is crafted with patience and precision.
Malagousia brings aromatic intensity and a more floral character, Assyrtiko adds energy, acidity and a clean line, while Limnio, vinified with a white-wine approach, gives depth and a different, more gastronomic dimension. Ageing for 9 months in new French oak barrels, together with lees stirring, gives the wine volume, a creamy texture and a more complex aromatic profile, without covering the fruit.
In the glass, it shows aromas of citrus, white-fleshed fruit, acacia and chamomile, together with notes of hazelnut, toasted bread and white pepper. On the palate, it is full, complex and persistent, with freshness that keeps everything balanced and makes each sip more interesting than the previous one.
It comes from Domaine Porto Carras in Sithonia, Halkidiki, a historic organic vineyard closely linked to the revival of Greek varieties such as Malagousia and Limnio. This is a wine for food, for more thoughtful tables and for anyone looking for a white with character, depth and ageing potential. Try it with large fish, seafood, white meats, pasta with creamy sauces, risotto and semi-hard or mature cheeses.
