Vineyard:

The Moschofilero grapes are strictly selected from the low yielding organic vineyard in the mountainous Peloponnese region.

The soil is clay-limestone nand the vineyard has a northern orientation.

Vinification:

Terroir:

Calcareous clay soil.

Training system:

Normal classical two sided royat (2,40x1), allowing optimal sun and air permeation

Tasting Notes:

Pale khaki color. Aromas of ripe apricot, honey, cantaloupe, and white peppercorn with a satiny, tangy, dryish light body and a smooth, compelling, medium-length citron, lemon spritz, and almond finish. A delicious warm-weather white that will pair like a dream with shellfish; refreshing, mineral-focused, and effortlessly drinkable.

This vivacious white is a beach pour with class. Fresh lemon zest and floral aromas and a combination of white fruit, minerals and citrus on the palate are lively and light, but the wine has some weight behind it.

Wine Enthusiast

"The white Sofos has a pale gold colour and a delicate nose with aromas of rosebud and white flowers, while in the palate it has freshness, medium body and fruity flavours such as pear, white peach and fresh melon. It is a white wine of pleasure which has the aromatic typicity of the indigenous Moschofilero combined with the body and the crisp acidity of a fresh Chardonnay."

"Konstantinos Lazarakis"
