Mantinia

(Μαντίνεια)

Mantinia is a Greek designation that produces light and aromatic white wines from Moschofilero—an indigenous pink-skinned Greek grape. The region is located on the eastern side of the Peloponnese, an area characterized by its cool microclimate.


Mantinia wines are typically light-bodied, lively, and fresh with bright acidity and aromas reminiscent of rose petals, citrus fruit, and citrus flowers. The wines are best enjoyed young and can make a great aperitif, but they also perfectly match light and heavier seafood dishes, poultry, and sheep or goat cheese.
