Description: The Moraitis estate is owned by Manolis Moraitis whose grandfather founded the winery in 1910. Today Moraitis is the only privately owned wine estate on the island, and Manolis is working with his son Theo; soon he will also work with his son Savvas. Sillogi white, from the region of Cyclades on Paros Island, is made of Malagouzia and Assyrtiko grapes. The palate is super fresh, dry, zesty and long in the mouth- this will immediately remind you of the sea and all of its seafood riches! Aromas of green fig and mineral salts. The wine displays a touch of citrus pith and olive brine. medium-acidity creates a mouthwatering finish… this wine brings to mind something more familiar, as a cross between a fine Chablis and a Gruner.
Food Pairing: Raw bar, mussels in garlic/white wine, ceviche, gazpacho, sardines, tomato/herb salads, etc.
