Moropoulos Winery

The Moropoulos family has had a long-time tradition in vine-growing in Mantinia zone, producing high-quality fruit over the last decades. The siblings decided to take the family’s heritage a step further by establishing their own winery. This way they would be able to showcase the character of their vineyards and their respect to the Arcadian land.

Moschofilero is an indigenous variety of the region and one of the most interesting Greek varieties. It has a special aromatic profile, with freshness and high acidity. It is considered to be a grey variety and some clones have a more reddish hue. The winery produces two different wines based on 100% Moschofilero.

The first is a PDO Mantinia, a blend from their parcel selection that is vinified on stainless steel. They have made an attempt to bring out a different dimension of this variety, as their intention is to keep long contact with the lees and produce a more gastronomical version gaining on balance, aromatic intensity and longer potential, rather than the usual easy drinking version of Moschofilero. For this reason, they have invested in vineyard management.

The second wine is a pink version of Moschofilero. It takes this pale rose color after a long skin contact maceration. This is a PGI Arcadia, as the PDO is reserved only for the classic white version. The rose expression of Moschofilero is a very interesting approach to this multidimensional variety.
