Moschofilero is an aromatic, pink-skinned Greek grape variety grown primarily in the Mantinia region of the Peloponnese, at high altitude. Despite its pink skin, Moschofilero is most often vinified as a white or rose wine, producing light-bodied, highly aromatic wines with pronounced floral notes of rose petal and orange blossom, alongside citrus and a hint of spice. Its naturally high acidity and low alcohol make it a refreshing, easy-drinking style, and it is also used to produce sparkling wines that showcase its perfumed character. Moschofilero's aromatic intensity is often compared to Gewurztraminer or Muscat, though it is generally lighter and more delicate. It pairs beautifully with Greek mezze, seafood, salads and lightly spiced dishes. At Wines Direct, we offer a selection of Moschofilero wines from Greece.
