Details
We searched high and low through Greece's mainland for the ultimate expression of Malagousia and Ana Fragou's 'Neilis' was pretty close to the top! This is faithful to the style of the grape, with ripe fruit and hints of basil, fringed by lovely acidity and minerality.
Anastasia Fragou Winery is a delightful, small-scale winery located in Attica, north of Athens, Greece. Founded by the passionate Anastasia Fragou, this boutique winery is all about quality over quantity. With just a few carefully cultivated hectares, Anastasia and her team produce limited batches of wine that truly capture the spirit of the region. Anastasia’s winemaking philosophy is rooted in a deep respect for tradition and the environment. She’s all about letting the grapes do the talking. The winery is especially known for its charming Malagousia—a white wine that’s a true showstopper with its vibrant citrus and floral notes - as well as an increasing focus on the Savatiano. This is a new winery to Good Pair Days, and to the UK market; a gem discovered by our wine team during a trip to Central Greece in January 2024. Anastasia Fragou's Winery was tragically caught in a fire in recent years, devastating all her tanks and equipment. Despite this, Fragou and the team have pushed forward and managed to maintain the production and crucially, high quality of their wines throughout.

Pairing guide
If you’re not already a fan of Malagousia wines, the chances are you’ll be a diehard convert after getting into this stunning bottle from Anastasia Fragou. We loved how well this delicious wine paired with curried and grilled fish dishes - especially oilier fish like mackerel, sardines and herring. Prawn skewers, fresh and cooked oysters, seafood salads and (unsurprisingly) Greek salads with feta and olives will also work well. We also reckon it’s a top match for pad Thai noodles and fiery Sichuan chicken dishes - give it a try and see for yourself!
