DRY WHITE WINE
The Magic Mountain white wine, produced from Sauvignon Blanc variety, since its first release in 1993 and until today is a characteristic product of NICO LAZARIDI’s unique quality. Its fans seek it every year, not only for its taste, but also for its unique bottle that changes its label after every new harvest.
The Magic Mountain refers to the gold of Mount Pangeon that rises impressively opposite the Château Νico Lazaridi Winery.
