Brettos

A white sweet wine (vin de liqueur) of the "Moschato" variety from the island of Limnos. Golden colour, rich aroma of roses and a pleasant full taste.

This is really and excellent sweet white wine. Whether you’re hankering for something sweet, or looking to try something Greek, this wine is a fantastic way to spend an evening. Pair it with some loukamathes and you’ll have everything you need to feel as though you been transported to the Greek isles, if only for an evening.

The island of Limnos, and it’s wines, are present in the Iliad: a welcome addition, it is said, to the cups of the Argives. With cooler temperatures than mainland Greece and plenty of strong prevailing winds, Limnos is an excellent place to raise expressive, aromatic, Moscatel, (aka Muscat of Alexandria).

Though Limnos has a reputation for making dry wines from it’s Moscatel, a result of the cooler temperatures, the island’s sweet wines are equally compelling. The entry-level dessert wine from Limnos Wines, located in the capital of Myrina, is an outstanding introduction to the island’s wines. In the glass the wine is a lambent, honeyed-orange. Aromas of thyme, honey, and green Darjeeling abound. The palate leads with earthy tones of spiced-honey and herbed-tea, though it finishes with a surprisingly refreshing hint of honeydew melon.

The role of the Union of Agricultural Cooperatives of Limnos should be considered exceptionally significant in the development of the agricultural and processing sector of Limnos.

It is the organization which collects, processes and trades the largest number of the island's agricultural production. The processing activities of U.A.C.L. cover the total wine production, while it owns a modern industrial dairy. Furthermore, it owns storehouses for the collection of the cereal production of the island.

Witht the superb view of the harbour of Myrina, the true taste of tradition is wonderfully weddedwith peaceful holidays on the island of Dionysus.
