Terrior
Located in the high-altitude vineyards of Arcadia in the Peloponnese, the cool climate and well-drained, rocky soils provide ideal conditions for Moschofilero. The elevation allows for slow grape ripening, preserving natural acidity and enhancing aromatic intensity. The region’s limestone soils add a mineral complexity to the wine, resulting in a rosé that is fresh, floral, and delicately structured.
Appearance
Pale pink with a slight silver hue, bright and clear, indicative of Moschofilero’s naturally light pigmentation and refreshing style.
Nose
The nose is intensely aromatic, with notes of rose petals, orange blossom, and wild strawberry, layered with hints of grapefruit, white peach, and a subtle herbal character. The floral and citrus aromas add depth and complexity, showcasing the unique aromatic profile of Moschofilero.
Palate
On the palate, this Moschofilero Rosé is light-bodied with lively, crisp acidity. Flavors of red berry, pink grapefruit, and peach are balanced by a fresh mineral backbone, giving the wine structure and complexity. The dry profile and vibrant texture make it both refreshing and elegant, with a slight spiciness typical of Moschofilero.
Finish
The finish is long, clean, and mineral-driven, with lingering floral notes and a touch of citrus zest, leaving a refreshing and mouthwatering impression.
