“..Gerovassiliou’s Malagousia, with its silky feel and honeyedrichness, has started a craze for the variety. Gerovassiliou’s wine remains the benchmark…”Tara Q. Thomas, Wine & Spirits magazine August 2007, Great Greek Grapes

“….There is an initial fragrance of spring blossom but it’s more complex than that first impression, with mineral and just slightly smoky citrus and apricot notes on the palate, even the tiniest hint of spice and pepper. After such refined perfume, the restrained power the palate might come as a bit of surprise - there’s noticeable weight and density and length, even though it’s just 12,5%, especially if you don’t over-chill it. Here’s a wine with lovely multidimensional which is terrific with or without food.” Julia Harding MW, Wines of the week, March 4 2008, JancisRobinson.com

“…Nearly alone in rescuing the Malagousia grape from oblivion in Greece. Gerovassiliou proves its worth in this peppery, citrousy pear-and herb-scented wine.” Greece on Food & Wine Guide 2008

“… The 2010 Domaine Gerovassiliou Malagousia begins with a really beautiful bouquet of pear, peach, citrus, a little mango and some floral notes. This wine has a very inviting aroma. Tasting the wine reveals a smooth silky texture and delicious, rich and juicy fruit featuring melon, orange zest and other citrus flavors. Good acidity and minerality help to make this a very food friendly wine. A really delicious Viognier-like white wine.”The Reverse Wine Snob, September 21, 2012
