Why we love this wine?
Moschópolis 6 consists of two of the most famous Greek varieties. Assyrtiko (90%) of the Aegean islands and Xinomavro (10%), the famous grape of Northern Greece. After fermenting with the wild yeast from the vine, it matures for 6 months in new and second use oak barrels along with the fine wine lees. Finally, it is bottled unfiltered to maintain all its features
Food Pairing
Scrimp Risotto with ginger flakes
Vineyard
Non-irrigated vineyard with limestone and schist soils, in a coastal area with a southern orientation and maximum exposure to the Aegean sun. An innovative vine support system is used, hanging grapes 1.8m above the ground and under the permanent cover of the foliage, with maximum ventilation. Pruning is done with double loose tendrils and small interventions are made, when needed, in order to have the required yield of 5 tons per hectare
Tasting
The characteristics of this wine are high-intensity aromas of citrus, melon, pear and lemon-flower flavours. Honey and smoke in the background express the very distinctive barrel. After the first year of ageing, particular benzoic aromas and a sense of minerality will appear. The stay in the barrels along with the fine lees makes it full and with an oily texture. Delicately dry on the palate with refreshing acidity, while white-flesh fruits, such as melon peach and pear have the primary role, followed by citrus. The very long aftertaste leaves a delicate fruity feeling
Ageing Potential
4-6 years
