Liastos Moraitis 2006 / 500 ml.

Item#: 30447

SP8888 pts. - Wine Spectator - Web only – 2010
A rich dessert-style white, with plenty of buttercream, maple and ripe pear flavors. The long finish echoes smoke and spice. Drink now through 2016. 500 cases made.
RP8888 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 21st Dec 2009
The 2006 MONEMVASIA LIASTOS was sun dried for 15 days and then aged in oak. Relatively light, it is laced with apricot and peach nuances, not particularly syrupy, and not as rich in the palate as the nose promises. It is very tasty, but it does thin fast and the fruit acquires a dried apricot nuance with air and warmth. The intense aromatics were its best feature. Drink now–2015.

Staff Reviews

Drew Kline - Premium Wine & Spirits March 7, 2011

"Has a dark amber color and notes of honeyed apricot, lemon zest and quince. The mouthfeel is lighter than you may expect but does not detract from this rich dessert offering from Moraitis."

Where It's From

Country / Greece

View more wines from Greece

Greece is one of the oldest wine-producing countries in the world, with evidence of wine production dating back to 6,500 years ago. With that said, Greece has been largely overshadowed by many of its Mediterranean counterparts when it comes to Old World wine production. There are, however, some fantastic, critically-acclaimed wines coming from Greece. Many of these hail from the Aegean Islands and Peloponnese appellations.
