Working with old Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains vineyards, guided by regenerative organic farming and respect for biodiversity, Konstantinos Tellis and Stella Papadimitriou bring decades of experience from Santorini, the Cyclades, and international harvests to create wines that capture the rugged beauty, authenticity, and singular character of this remarkable island terroir.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e620 Skalia\u003c\/strong\u003e is \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMuscat, but not as you know it. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFrom a north-facing single vineyard perched at 500 metres on the schist slopes of Samos, this is a strikingly distinctive expression of Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains.
