Notes
Vinum Blind-Degustation - Wein 06

Moschophilero is an ancient, late maturing, gris grape local to the region and is the appellation varietal for Mantinia. The name means “fragrant leafy” and the grape is often compared to Traminer. It has an unusual pale bronze hue, presenting rose petals and lavender on the nose and becoming exquisitely refreshing in the mouth. The 2003 is one of the best vintages for years.

It is used in the production of dry white and rose wines, of high quality. Due to the rosy color normally displayed by grapes of this variety, great care is required during winemaking and production of white wines. These wines are characterized by their high acidity, low alcohol content, and distinct, fine bouquet.
