Which two labels should visitors take with them, as a reminder of their visit?
The label Spilia of both white and rosé versions.
In white Spilia co-exist Roditis, Savatiano, and Monemvasia varieties. It is a wine of clear light green color and an aromatic bouquet of pineapple, apricot, grapes and delicate hints of lemon. The mouth stands out for its slight crunchiness which is followed by an especially smooth and pleasant finishing.
In its rosé version, Spilia’s blend includes Mandilaria, Mavrotragano, Aidani, and Muscat. A rosé with bright color and dominant strawberry aromas in a flowery background of roses. The mouth is mellow and full-bodied with a discreet taste of cherry and has medium tannins that leave a pleasing aftertaste to the palate.
What are the highlights of the wider region that visitors should not miss?
Milos is by itself a highlight that no visitor should ever miss. The peculiar scenery surrounding it with its volcanic soil and white rocks appears eerie and astonishing that often characterized as lunar.
