Liastos Sweet Dessert Wine 

 A Luscious Expression of Sun-Kissed Grapes- indulge in the luxurious flavours of  Liastos Sweet Dessert Wine. A naturally sweet wine aged for 6 years in oak barrels.

A true testament to the art of traditional winemaking on the island of Limnos. This exceptional dessert wine is made from the renowned Muscat of Alexandria grapes, a variety that thrives on the island’s volcanic soils and is known for producing wines of remarkable sweetness and aromatic complexity.

The name Liastos  refers to the age-old method of sun-drying grapes to concentrate their sugars and intensify their natural flavours. After the hand-harvested Muscat grapes are dried under the warm Mediterranean sun, they are carefully vinified to create this rich and elegant sweet wine. The result is a deep amber-coloured wine with an irresistible bouquet of dried apricots, honey, figs, and citrus zest, enhanced by subtle floral and spicy notes.

 

 

On the palate, Liastos is a symphony of luscious flavours, from ripe peaches and golden raisins to candied orange peel and sweet spices. Its velvety texture and balanced acidity offer a perfect harmony between sweetness and freshness, making each sip a captivating experience. The wine’s long, smooth finish lingers with a hint of caramel and nutmeg, leaving a lasting impression of indulgent luxury.

Perfect Food Pairings
Liastos Sweet Dessert Wine is the perfect accompaniment to a variety of desserts, elevating any meal’s conclusion to new heights. Pair it with fruit tarts, baklava, or chocolate-based desserts for a heavenly combination. It also pairs beautifully with blue cheeses and other strong-flavoured cheeses, providing a delightful contrast to the wine’s sweetness. For a more traditional Greek pairing, enjoy Liastos  with dried fruits, nuts, or even a simple serving of fresh figs.
