Greek wines get a lot of praise from me, and I’m not going to stop any time soon. This week, the particular drum I’m beating has “moschofilero” written all over it. Yes, mos-ko-FIL-ero, because this is a grape variety to explore if you’re after a new wine that can be had for very competitive prices.
It’s an ancient grape that’s grown predominantly in the Peloponnese and on the Mantinia plateau, where the cool climate and average elevation help this delicate grape ripen. While the wines it makes are united by a steady acid, they can also range from the intensely aromatic to the clean and zesty.
