11 hectares, organic cultivation

Moschopolis 6 is a stunning white wine from one of the best and most unique Greek cuvées: Assyrtiko and Xinomavro!

Moschopolis 6 is made of Assyrtiko grape grown in a dry, stony and steep vineyard above the sea. The exciting blossom aromas that are not at all typical of Assyrtiko are due to the different cultivation method: in this wine the grapes hang on the vine at a height of 1.8 meters. Why? To protect them from the sun and the high temperatures.

The red grape variety Xinomavro is vinified according to the method of "Blanc de Noir" and is added to about 10% of the cuvée. The wine is then fermented with indigenous yeasts in French oak barrels. There it ages for 6 months, hence its name: 6.

The wine is bottled unfiltered and destined for long aging, as it has all the ingredients for it: impressive fruit concentration, sharp acidity and a structure of steel! Surely it will be even better in 5 years, but who can waiting?

Very intense aromas of citrus and pear on the nose. Honey and tobacco in the background express the presence of barrel. After the first year of aging, benzoin flavors and minerality come out. Pleasantly dry and oily, with refreshing acidity in which white fruits like melon, peach and pear stand out, followed by citrus.

Enjoy Moschopolis 6 with our homemade seasonal chutney, some delicious Greek cheese (dependant on seasonality and availability) and carob breaksticks.
