Paterianakis 2021 Moschato Spinas (Crete)
Crete’s special take on Muscat grows especially well in Chania, the source of this wine. A small-berried clone gives rise to a faintly minty, pristinely clear wine that reminds one of the beloved style we embrace in Styria and parts of Germany, improbable though that might seem. Muscat-lovers should rejoice!
