Mythic River White from Gofas Estate is a delicate, white, aromatic wine that both its label and content bring you to a playful and fairytale mood.
Konstantinos Gofas, with a very long wine-growing history, decided to pursue family tradition, so in 2011 he relocated the winery by the river in the middle of the vineyards. With the legendary river Asopos flowing just beside the winery, the name of the wine couldn't have been more appropriate. Sauvignon Gris (60%) and Malagouzia (40%), from Gerakina vineyard, in the "Grand Cru" village of Koutsi in Nemea, are combined in a blend with unexpected results. Cold maceration and low temperature preserve and enhance primary aromas. Along with its refreshing acidity, it launches the enjoyment to mythical levels!
It has medium lemon color and discreet aromas of lemon, citron, peach, lime, pear and white flowers. Delicate medium-bodied palate with balanced acidity, and an enjoyable grapefruit aftertaste.
Pair it with asparagus risotto with lemon peel, grilled seabass with coriander and lime or steamed shellfish with white wine and parsley.
