\"terra<\/p>\n

Terra Limnia<\/a> is a new producer making impressive wines from local varieties grown on the island of Limnos. They’re made by Vicky Samaras (ex-pat Greek) and Jonas Newman of Hinterland<\/a> in Canada\u2019s Prince Edward County, in collaboration with a Greek partner (Nikos Vakirtzis). <\/p>\n

The white is made from Muscat of Alexandria, which is a traditional variety here and produces really interesting wines. The red is made from the ancient Limnio variety, from volcanic soils on the east of the island. They both have a lot of personality.<\/p>\n

Terra Lemnia Muscat 2012 Limnos, Greece<\/strong>
\n12.5% alcohol. First vintage. Very pretty, but with some substance: notes of citrus, grapes, fennel and some subtle pine and mint. Very pure but with an attractive texture. A really sophisticated dry Muscat with great food compatibility, and notes of minerals, herbs and scented Mediterranean evenings. 91\/100<\/p>\n

Terra Lemnia Limnio 2011 Limnos Greece
\n<\/strong>12.5% alcohol. Cherry red in colour with a slightly bricking rim. Nose of spice, herbs, earth and a hint of mint and pine as well as red cherry fruit. The palate is fresh, light and savoury with some grip. Good acidity and spicy cherry and plum fruit. A food-friendly style with grippy tannins – it reminds me a bit of Nebbiolo, in that there’s fruit but also grippy tannic structure and good acidity. 89\/100<\/p>\n
