Anyone in pursuit of a Greek grape variety which promises refreshment and enlivenment, all the while offering exoticism unprecedented in a Mediterranean country, should look no further than Moschofilero.

Native to the Mantinia plateau in central Peloponnese, it performs best in this cooler climate, exhibiting a particular aromatic profile with distinctive freshness and crispy acidity.

Despite the reddish or grayish hues of its berries, it is almost exclusively used for the production of dry whites (“blanc de gris”) and sparkling wines.

Nevertheless the varietal rosé wines are increasing year after year.

It is also frequently blended with other grapes where its task is to give them a “boost” by means of its superb floral aroma.
