We were introduced to this beauty by Agustina Basilico Miara, Sommeliere at Toklas restaurant, Surrey St., London. Agustina had been on a trip to Greece to find just such wines for the restaurant. This Lagorthi by Rouvalis certainly is a find of the first order. Absolutely toothsome and only 11%.
Looking up Lagorthi in 'Wine Grapes' as often happens we discovered that it has the same DNA as Verdeca, the white grape from Puglia, part of Magna Grecia of course.
How about that?
