Vin Doux, which belongs to the Vins de Liqueurs category, is the most popular wine from Samos!
Both its appearance and aroma are particularly appealing, with a pale golden color and prominent aromas of apricot jam, very ripe melon, and hints of butterscotch. The first sip is explosive, a riot of flavors and aromas centered on Muscat grapes, expressed with exceptional freshness. Vin Doux is a wine that retains all the primary aromas of Muscat and invites you to enjoy it greedily, in generous sips. It is the perfect companion to ripe melon, but also pairs well with many dishes and desserts.

The most classic expression of Muscat. Vin Doux is the wine that made Samos Muscat wines famous in international markets. It is produced from ripe grapes grown in semi-mountainous vineyards, with the addition of 96% wine-derived alcohol to the must shortly before or during fermentation. This interruption of fermentation leaves the grapes’ natural sugars unfermented, creating a wine with a golden color and intense natural aromas reminiscent of flowers, honey, or caramelized fruit. This style of wine is intended to be enjoyed young and chilled at 8°–10°C, harmoniously accompanying fresh or dried fruit, light desserts, and ice cream.
Tasting notes: Golden color. An intense, harmonious nose composed largely of primary aromas of flowers, fruit, and honey. A soft, naturally sweet palate, with sweetness balanced by the wine’s acidity. A long finish.
