About the winemaker

“Although the Peloponnese region is full of moschofilero grapes, there is still a lot to discover for the rest of the world. This grape variety, like Pinot Grigio, has a slightly reddish skin. But unlike the world-famous Italian grape, moschofilero is very aromatic and full of flavor! In combination with the fresh sea winds, which are of course never far away on the Greek islands, super exciting, rich wines can be made. We have been convinced in Greece for a long time, now the rest of the world is convinced!”

Peloponnesos, Greece
The history of the Peloponnese and wine goes back a long way: Homer already described the peninsula in the 8th century BC as 'Ampeloessa', which is ancient Greek for 'full of vines'. Today it is still the largest wine region in Greece. The landscape is rolling and the subsoil consists of sand and clay. Approximately 2,500 hectares of moschofilero grapes are planted in the Peloponnese. This grape is sensitive to bad weather and therefore feels at home in the Greek warmth. It is a white grape with a reddish, not quite red, skin, which produces aromatic wines. For this wine he blends moschofilero with perhaps Greece's most famous grape; the Assyrtiko and with the long extinct malagousia.

REVIEW | 08-09-2024

Stevige volle wijn met vrisse tonen en een volle lange afdronk. Vind ik lekker bij stevige italiaanse gerechten.

A great fruity white - can’t go wrong with Assyrtiko. Peach, melon, medium body. With a long finish. Nice and refreshing.
