Moschopolis 18

18 months of aging in second and third use oak barrels. From the family-owned non-irrigated vineyard at an altitude of 1600m.
Combined vinification of the native Greek variety Mavratragano and the world famous Syrah variety, originating from a 20 years old vineyard dominated by red soil with a high proportion of gravel and stone. The limited production yield ensures high condensation. It shows intense complexity, with fragrances of small red fruits, violets, sour cherry, plum, vanilla and tobacco. Tastes of dried fig, dark chocolate, coffee, spices and chestnut.
It is served at room temperature in balloon type wine glasses, after being allowed to breathe for at least 20 minutes, ideally in a wine jug.

    Monopigado

    Our vineyards in Monopigado village are located on the slopes of a hilly area of about 1000 – 1600 ft altitude, near the Aegean coastline, overlooking the Aegean Sea and the mythical Mount Olympus. The area is blessed with the cooling wind from the mountain area surrounding it from the north and it also enjoys the summer breeze from the sea.  The soil is mainly clay and gravel with very high concentration of stones. Its structure, combined with the dry cultivation of the vines, enables the penetration of the roots deep into the sub-soil. The average yield is no more than 3 tons per acre.
