SAMOS

Selected Wines

Dry Wines

Psiles Korfes

The Psiles Korfes is the flagship of the Cooperative's dry wines. A wine with an elegant character, where the fruity and floral aromas of Muscat are expressed in a refined way. In appearance we have a yellowish light-colored wine, with aromas of rose petals, apricot and lemon overwhelming the nose. Delicate and light taste, with a sweetness that wins you over, while we elegantly encounter the character of Muscat with refreshing acidity and satisfactory length. The grapes for its production come exclusively from the best mountain vineyards of the island, on old dry stone terraces and an altitude of up to 1,000 meters.

DRY Wines

Moscato Aspro

This is a dry white wine that comes from semi-mountainous, dry vineyards, stacked on dry stone terraces. Its appearance is particularly attractive with a bright light yellow color and greenish highlights. Aromatically it is rich and "full", reminiscent of the smell of ripe, white-fleshed fruits, such as peach, apricot and melon, which spread against a background of extremely discreet expression of the Muscat character. With a complex mouth, it is intensely fruity, with a full and round flavor.
Natural Wines

Natural Wine "The Vounitis"

Sourced from organically farmed vineyards at an altitude of 1,100 meters atop Mount Karvounis, overlooking the villages of Vourliotes, Ampelos, and Pandrosos in the ‘Xepagiasmeno’ site. This is a high-acid wine—direct and quintessential—remarkably dry with a full-bodied mouthfeel. It features fruity aromas, hints of yeast and herbs, and a long finish. It was matured for 12 months in tanks and 'French eggs' (ovoid vats), then bottled unfiltered and unfined, with no added sulfites.

Natural Wines

Natural Wine "The Hermit"

Hailing from a remote, biodynamically farmed vineyard in the ‘Vasilikochorafa’ area of Kontakeiika, at an altitude of 650 meters, this is an orange wine with an intense aromatic profile. Expressive, mineral, earthy, and rustic, it carries distinct saline notes and an impressively long-lasting finish. Fermented with whole berries in amphorae, it matured in egg-shaped tanks for 12 months and was further aged in oak barrels for 6 months. It was bottled unfiltered and unfined, with no added sulfites.
Natural Wines

Natural Wine "The Prophet"

Sourced from a sun-drenched, organically farmed vineyard at the 'Paliampela' site in Pagondas village, at an altitude of 450 meters. This is a captivating wine, highly aromatic, with notes of dried citrus and Muscat raisins. Its palate is elegant, soft, and round. Fermented and aged for 12 months in specialized egg-shaped tanks, it was—like all 'Athiktoi Oinoi' (Untouched Wines)—bottled unfiltered, unfined, and with no added sulfites.
Semi-dry Wines

BaBeloenos White Semi-Dry

This is a single-varietal wine made from Muscat grapes, originating from semi-mountainous vineyards. This wine bears the impressive characteristics of the noble Muscat variety. Its aromas refer first to the grape itself and, in a secondary reading, to fresh and ripe fruits, such as apricots, apples and citrus fruits. Some exotic fruits are also distinct, such as banana, lychee, pineapple, mango and kiwi.
Semi-dry Wines

BaBeloenos Rosé Semi-Dry

An excellent combination of three indigenous varieties of the Samian vineyard: Fokiano, Avgoustiati and Muscat. Complex and charming nose, where aromas of wild cherry and lemon blossoms are the protagonists. In the mouth it is rich, balanced and fresh, with notes of early summer fruits and green lemon. It rests on the wonderful acidity of the rare Avgoustiati, offering a crystal clear aroma of stone cherry and watermelon, tasty liveliness and good body. In the end it reserves a long-lasting aftertaste, with a sense of lime that perfectly balances the sweetness of the semi-dry.
Vin de liqueur

Samos Vin Doux

It belongs to the Vins de Liqueur (fortified wines) category and is the most popular wine of Samos, and is exported all over the world. The so-called "liquid gold", with its light golden color, comes from semi-mountainous and mountainous terraces. Both its appearance and smell are particularly attractive. Aromas of apricot jam and ripe melon dominate, while hints of butterscotch and flowers can be distinguished in the mouth. The first contact with the mouth is explosive, with a feast of aromas and flavors, revolving around the Muscat grape, expressed in an extremely fresh way.
Vin de liqueur

Samos Anthemis

A wonderful vin de liqueur produced from Muscat grapes from the semi-mountainous vineyards of Samos. The wine is then aged for 5 years in oak barrels, where it acquires an attractive brownish-yellow color and a charming bouquet of aromas reminiscent of flowers, honey, tobacco, chocolate and dried fruits. Aromas of honeycomb, butterscotch, spoon sweets, cherries in alcohol and nuts, compose a particularly complex and dense aromatic profile.
Dry Wines

Ancaeus

dry red wine, from the mountainous and semi-mountainous slopes of the Samian vineyards, featuring a characteristic deep crimson color with violet highlights. Red forest fruits initially dominate the nose. Its balanced acidity makes it pleasant and effortless to drink. On the palate, it reveals a freshness followed by subtle peppery notes, while the complexity culminates as it glides over the palate. The pronounced tannins and spicy elements in the aftertaste create a fleshy character, resulting in a robust wine that heightens the rebellion of the senses.
Sweet Wines

Samos Grand Cru

A classic Vin Doux Naturel produced from the White Muscat variety. It is crafted from perfectly ripened grapes sourced from selected semi-mountainous terraced vineyards. Yields are strictly limited to 530 kg per stremma. The Grand Cru is distinguished by its brilliant golden color, reminiscent of topaz, and its aromatic richness. Its bouquet masterfully combines the essence of the fresh grape with notes of honey, honeycomb, and candied exotic fruits.
Sweet Wines

Samos Nectar

A magnificent sun-dried sweet wine that carries the legacy of Greek tradition from prehistoric times to the present day. Crafted from over-ripe, sun-dried grapes and aged 6 years in oak barrels, this wine is ranked among the finest in the world. Its bouquet is dominated by notes of raisins, honey, and roasted nuts. The long-lasting finish reveals complex layers of tobacco, butterscotch, walnut, and ripe orange, with subtle hints of clove.
Sweet Wines

Samos Phyllas

Boasting a brilliant golden-yellow hue, the organic Phyllas is sourced from meticulously selected certified organic vineyards. The nose is dominated by intense and harmonious aromas of apricot and fruit compote. This is an exceptional sweet Muscat wine, characterized by its velvety texture and well-balanced acidity. Its elegant body showcases the signature notes of the variety, which unfold beautifully against a backdrop of ripe fruits and roasted nuts.
COLLECTIBLE WINES

Samos 1963

For 60 whole years, like a 'Sleeping Beauty', it has awaited the kiss of wine enthusiasts to 'awaken' the memories and aromas of the Samian vineyards, from a landmark vintage for Samos Muscat! 

The Samos 1963 is a true piece of Greek viticultural history, taking us on a journey back in time and evoking the flavors and aromas of the 1960s. Deeply hued and refined, it boasts an intense and complex bouquet of dark chocolate, roasted coffee beans, exotic spices, and grape molasses (petimezi), alongside notes of tobacco, honey, roasted nuts, and dried figs.

Our wines

“Wine is life” (Vinum est vita): with this phrase, the importance of wine is underlined
as an integral part of human life and its pleasures. – HORATIUS.

The king variety is the White Muscat of Samos (Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains), also known locally as “moschoudi.” It is a noble grape variety, widely cultivated throughout the Mediterranean. Although it is also found in other parts of Greece and around the world, where it likewise produces sweet wines, it is only in Samos that its finest character is fully expressed.
The White Muscat covers the 98% of the Samos vineyard area. The remaining 2% is shared among red wine grape varieties, namely Ritino, Fokiano, and Avgoustiatis.
