All you wanted to know about Malagousia with reviews of top 10

In my previous post you read about the mystery of Malagousia and the "mystery man" who brought the Malagousia cuttings to Domaine Porto Carras in Northern Greece during the late 60's or early 70's as it was described by Gerovassiliou in the masterclass in Thessaloniki. The dilemma posed was whether Kotinis (working for Institute of Vines) gave the vines to Porto Carras or if it was actually Professor Logothetis that identified the vines in Central Greece bringing them to the estate. While I was in Zurich, Vangelis Gerovassiliou returned after discussing this issue with Mrs. Kourakou, the Director of the Institute of Vines and Wine from 1964 to 1984 and probably the most respected wine personality in Greece. 

It seems that Mrs. Kourakou supports the view that the cuttings were actually offered by the Insitute of Vines and Kotinis to Professor Logothetis who planted the experimental vineyard in Porto Carras upon Kourakou's advise. Kourakou was at that time helping Porto Carras (as she did with all wineries) by consulting on which varieties to plant. And this fills all the blanks (I hope) leaving space to explore typicity and styles, the final conclusions of the Malagousia workshop. Not an easy task as Malagousia opens a whole new world for the Greek vineyard.
