The Malagouzia variety originated from the region of Nafpaktia. It was planted at the Matsa vineyard during its replanting in the late 80s while it was one of the varieties that acclimatized perfectly with the ecosystem of the estate. The result is an organic wine overflowing with an intense aromatic bouquet to such an extent that made it truly unique.
