Moschofilero is a traditional Greek white grape whose intense aromatics reminiscent of Muscat, good acidity, and pink/purple skin make it a versatile material for a variety of styles, from light whites through dry “rosés” to dessert wines. All these characteristics also represent the perfect combo of ingredients for a compelling orange sparkling wine, exactly as Dimitrios did here. As always with the Kamara winery, the label is hand-painted by the winemaker’s daughter Stavroula and very evocative of the flavors and good times that await you in the bottle!
Variety: Moschofilero
Soil: Clay, limestone
Making of: the wine is fermented on skins for 3 weeks in clay amphora, old oak vat, and stainless steel vats with regular punch-downs, then pressed, blended, and bottled while still fermenting to finish the fermentation in the bottle as pet-nat. Unfined, unfiltered, undisgorged, no SO2 added.
Personality: delicious! The Moschofilero grape shows its full potential for pleasure in this cloudy sparkling orange – tropical aromas and intense flower notes mingle with lemongrass and orange peel notes, slightly tangy touch and mouth-watering freshness.
