Tasting Notes:
The 2023 vintage of Gai'a Monograph Moschofilero is a beautifully aromatic wine with a pale, straw-yellow color. On the nose, it bursts with floral fragrances, particularly rose petals and orange blossom, combined with citrus notes of lime and grapefruit. Subtle hints of green apple and pear add depth to its aromatic profile.
On the palate, the wine is light-bodied and crisp, with a refreshing acidity that balances the fruity and floral flavors. The citrus and tropical fruit notes are complemented by a delicate minerality, characteristic of the high-altitude vineyards in the Peloponnese region where the grapes are grown. The finish is clean and invigorating, leaving a lingering impression of freshness.

Its bright acidity also makes it a great match for spicy Asian dishes or sushi, and it can be enjoyed as an aperitif on its own.
Winemaking Process:
The Moschofilero grapes for this wine are sourced from high-altitude vineyards in the Mantinia region of the Peloponnese, known for producing wines with vibrant acidity and aromatic intensity.
