Moschofilero
(Μοσχοφίλερο, Fileri Tripoleos, Filleri Tripoleos, Moschophilero, Moscophilero, Mosxofilero, Phileri Tripoleos, Moscofilero, Phileri Tripoleo)
Moschofilero is a Greek grape that hails from Peloponnese. It is an aromatic and late-ripening variety that delivers high yields, but it is sometimes sensitive and finicky to grow. Despite its common presence, Moschofilero was only popularized in the 1970s and ’80s, primarily by the producers from PDO Mantinia, the most important wine region for Moschofilero.
Varietal Moschofilero wines can be incredibly versatile. They will usually have bright and crisp acidity, which highlights their clean and fresh character. The wines from lower altitudes will usually have more freshness, and those from higher vineyards tend to have a more prominent floral character.
Typical aromas are reminiscent of peaches, jasmine, orange blossom, roses, and citrus fruit. Moschofilero is usually enjoyed young, but the best examples sometimes show aging potential. These wines would pair nicely with fish and seafood, poultry, light snacks, spicy dishes, Asian fare, and salads.
