The story
Mantinia plateau
Pink skins
Comeback kid
High up on the Mantinia plateau in the Peloponnese, Moschofilero has been hanging out for centuries. It almost went extinct because locals thought it was too weird to cultivate properly, but a few stubborn winemakers saw potential in its pink skins. They realized that by treating it gently, they could bottle the essence of a rose garden without the sweetness. It is a true comeback kid story of Greek viticulture.

Unique deception
You expect a sugar bomb based on the nose, but take a sip and your face puckers in delight. It is a master of deception. Moschofilero smells exactly like a bouquet of roses and Turkish delight, yet it hits the tongue with bone-dry, razor-sharp citrus vibes. It is completely unique to Greece and acts like Gewürztraminer's athletic, marathon-running cousin who hates sugar but loves perfume.

Anyone who loves smelling their wine as much as drinking it will be obsessed. Fans of Torrontés or dry Riesling will feel right at home here. It is perfect for people who want a conversation starter in a glass or need something to cut through the grease of fried calamari. Basically, those seeking a high-energy, perfumed white that refreshes rather than weighs you down.
