July 2015 - Greek Wine from Maltby & Greek

Maltby and Greek are a specialist in all things Greek, trading out of Maltby Street market and Druid Street in Bermondsey.

Stephanos presented us with a range of wines, from fizz to a vino santo

Domaine Karanikas Brut Cuvee Speciale -, Xynomavro, Amyndeon NV. £23
Domaine Spiropoulos - Moschofilero, Mantinia 2014 £12.90
Alpha Estate - Malagouzia Amyndeon 2014 £12.80
Domaine Sigalas - Assyrtiko, Santorini 2014 £16
Domaine Sigalas – Mandilaria Mavrotragano, Santorini 2014 £15.70
Vourvoukelis – Limnio Xanthi 2013 £15.80
Alpha Estate Old Vines Reserve Xynomavro, Amyndeon 2010 £17.50
Domaine Sigalas Vinsanto Assyrtiko-Aidani, Santorini 2004 - £29/500ml

The wines are pretty good, but sadly are expensive for what they are – the Greeks only export a very small proportion of their wine. Probably the best, to my mind was the Old Vines reserve, which probably is worth the money.
