A word from the METAXA Master Constantinos Raptis

"I am never in a rush. I know it takes time to achieve perfection. I created METAXA 12 Stars with twelve blends. In the beginning, I selected among some of the noblest, most aromatic Muscat wines exclusively from the Aegean island of Samos, that I blend together and age. When I feel that the moment is right, I combine them with blends of grape distillates that have matured in Limousin oak casks, of various degrees of toasting. Then, I add my secret bouquet of May rose petals and Mediterranean botanicals. As a final touch, I add longer aged blends of Muscat from Samos and grape distillates, crafted, matured and reserved for METAXA 12 Stars."
