{"product_id":"petrakopoulos-muscat-grece","title":"Petrakopoulos - Muscat - 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn the Ionian island of Kefalonia, the Petrakopoulos estate cultivates its vines on breezy hillsides near the village of Thiramonas in the south of the island. The Muscat plots benefit from well-drained limestone and clay-limestone soils, which promote a slow and concentrated ripening of the grapes. The proximity of the sea moderates the summer heat and brings cooler nights, preserving aromatic freshness. This mosaic of micro-terroirs gives the estate's Muscat a unique expression, marked by minerality and great aromatic intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Muscat grapes are harvested at perfect aromatic ripeness and then gently pressed. After careful settling, the must ferments slowly at low temperatures to preserve varietal intensity and fruit purity. Fermentation is stopped to retain natural sugar levels and a balance between sweetness and freshness. The wine is then aged on its fine lees for several months in stainless steel tanks, with limited racking to preserve the purest expression of the grape variety and the wine's delicate texture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003ewhite-fleshed fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003ecandied apricot\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003eorange zest\u003c\/strong\u003e , supported by \u003cstrong\u003efloral\u003c\/strong\u003e aromas of \u003cstrong\u003eorange blossom\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003erose\u003c\/strong\u003e , as well as delicate \u003cstrong\u003ehoneyed\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003espicy\u003c\/strong\u003e touches reminiscent of \u003cstrong\u003evanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ecardamom\u003c\/strong\u003e .
