The wine

A refreshing, juicy and vibrant Malagousia with notes of peach, nectarine and a bright citrussy character, underpinned by delicious minerality and a saline finish.

Malagousia was rescued from near extinction in the 1980s and is now one of Greece's most planted whites. Pieria lies at the foot of Mount Olympus, and the estate range takes its name from it: Terre de Zeus. Cool air off the mountain and maritime influence from the Thermaic Gulf keep the wine's saline freshness.

The producer

Navitas is Latin for energy, birth and creation, and the project's stated philosophy is mindful winemaking, meaningful wines. Winemaker Maria Dimitriadis and oenologist Grigoris Sotiriadis, both from Thessaloniki, founded it on sixteen hectares in Pieria.

Pieria lies at the foot of Mount Olympus in northern Greece, which is why the estate range is called Terre de Zeus. The mountain's mass moderates the climate and the vineyards catch cool air off it, while the Thermaic Gulf lies close enough to the east for maritime influence as well. It is not a well-known wine region, and the pair chose it deliberately for that combination of altitude and sea.

The range works Greek varieties, Malagousia and Assyrtiko for whites and Xinomavro for red, alongside a Grenache rose which is an unusual planting for the area. Production is small and the farming is deliberately low-intervention.
