Background Information:
Exceptionally blessed with natural water sources, Samos and Lemnos are among the most verdant of the Aegean Islands. Naturally, it is here that the Metaxa Master seeks out Muscat wines of unparalleled aromatic concentration, which are the utmost importance in creating the sublime smoothness of METAXA.
METAXA’s inimitable character is crowned with gift of Muscat grapes. Meticulously and lovingly tended, the Muscat grapes of Samos and Lemnos are nourished by the islands’ golden sunlight.The finest among them are chosen by the Metaxa Master to blend with his aged wine distillates, thus creating the signature smoothness of METAXA.
The supreme expression of time’s role in forging METAXA’s character is Cask No.1, the most ancient and revered cask in the distillery. For over 80 years, generations of Metaxa Masters have selected their oldest, most exceptional blends for transfer to this mythical cask. The result is the very heart of METAXA, a sumptuous essence of more than 200 different blends.
