Why we love this wine?
The Moschópolis 18 red consists of the Greek grape variety of the Aegean Sea Mavrotragano (50%) and the international variety Syrah (50%). It's produced solely with grapes from privately owned non irrigated vineyards with limited production. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of 500m on a hilly area, overlooking the mythical Mount Olympus on the other side of the Thermaikos gulf of Thessaloniki, and are dominated by red soils with a high content of the stone, suitable for red varieties. This ensures the required concentration for the production of high-quality wines

Tasting
Present and intense aromas of small red fruits, mainly small berries, cherries and plums. Dried figs, nuts and caramel are followed by a sweet sensation of fresh violets coming from the background.
