Samos Vin Doux
Description
It belongs to the category of Vins de Liqueur (fortified wines) and is the most popular wine of Samos, while it is exported all over the world. The so-called "liquid gold", with its characteristic 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 in the mouth there are hints of butterscotch and flowers. 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.

Pairing with:
As a classic dessert wine, it is served after the meal and the desserts it best accompanies are light and light-colored ones, such as apple pie, orange pie, fruit tarts, but also intensely creamy ones. However, it is also served before the meal as an aperitif with fruit, cheese and nuts. It is the perfect companion to ripe melon, while desserts, cheeses, fresh fruit or dried fruits love Samos Vin Doux. It is used in confectionery to create extremely tasty syrups that give a different touch to sweet creations. In cooking, it complements aromatically and "ties" sweet and sour sauces or leaves its discreet sweetness in poultry, Asian or even Italian cuisine recipes. It is the ideal "closing" for a meal or dinner, while its rich body can be an amazing base for preparing unique cocktails in unlimited combinations.
