Metaxa 7 Star is produced at the Metaxa distillery in Kifissia, Athens, through a production process unique to this Greek spirit: white wine distillates are aged for a minimum of seven years in French Limousin oak casks, before being blended with barrel-matured Muscat wine from the Aegean islands of Samos and Limnos. The combination of aged brandy and Muscat wine — low-yielding vines producing aromatic grapes with floral and ripe fruit character — is then completed with the addition of a proprietary secret blend of infused rose petals and Mediterranean herbs. The 7 Star expression represents the mid-tier of the Metaxa star range: richer and more complex than the 5 Star, with deeper fruit and oak integration. Bottled at 40% ABV.

Metaxa was created in 1888 by Spyros Metaxa, a Greek merchant and traveller who sought to create a unique Greek spirit drawing on the country's winemaking heritage. The first Metaxa facility opened in Piraeus in 1888; by the late 1960s, a modern distillery was established in Kifissia, a suburb of Athens, where Metaxa is produced today. Metaxa is a uniquely Greek spirit: a blend of aged brandy distillates and Muscat wine from the Aegean islands of Samos and Limnos, to which a proprietary botanical blend including rose petals and Mediterranean herbs is added. The star rating on each expression corresponds to the minimum years of ageing for the blend.
