Malagousia
Category & Origin:
Dry White wine, PGI Achaia
Varietal Composition:
Malagousia 100%
Mega Spileo Malagousia grows in the Trapeza and Vrosthena vineyards, and produces a pleasant white wine characterised by notes of apricot, unripe nectarine, white flowers, tropical fruits and a natural feel with notes of basil. Light palate, with discreet acidity and a fruity after-taste.

Cuvee III White
Category & Origin:
Dry White Wine, PGI Achaia
Varietal Composition:
Malagousia 60%, Assyrtiko 20%, Chardonnay 20%
Malagousia and Assyrtiko, two of the most striking varieties of Greek grape, come together with Chardonnay in a unique blend. Separate vinification of each variety means that the Malagousia and Assyrtiko ferment in small tanks and mature together with their wine lees, while the Chardonnay matures in barrels that give it its characteristically rich palette. The grapes are cultivated at an altitude of 900 metres, giving this wine a cool acidity and expressive aroma.
Mega Spileo
Rosé
Category & Origin:
Dry rosé wine, PGI Achaia
Varietal Composition:
Malagousia 70%, Cabernet Franc 30%
The Rosé of the Mega Spileo Estate, in Provence style, has intense aromas of wild strawberry, mint and citrus. The refreshing acidity of Malagouzia and the subtle tannins of Cabernet Franc give a complex wine with a long, fruity finish.
Mega Spileo
Cuvee III Red
Category & Origin:
Dry Red Wine
Varietal Composition:
Mavrodaphne 40%, Cabernet Sauvignon 40%, Agiorgitiko 20%
3 emblematic red varieties, Mavrodaphne, Cabernet Sauvignon and Agiorgitiko, cultivated in mountain vineyards surrounding the Mega Spileo vineyard in Achaia, unite to produce a one-of-a-kind “new-world” red wine. Dense and exuberant, with aromatic notes of red fruit syrup, chocolate and coconut, this robust wine is full of unique flavours.
Mega Spileo
Pinot Noir
Category & Origin:
Dry red wine, varietal
Varietal Composition:
Pinot Noir 100%
The cool mountain vineyards of Aigialeia, located at an altitude of 1000 m, produce a classically refined Pinot Noir. Aromatically fine, with pronounced notes of red fruits and mint, and hints of damp forest and coffee. Pronounced acidity in the mouth, with fine-grained tannins
