Winemaker Notes
The color is light white yellow. Opulent aromas, light and fresh, of white flowers and honeysuckle are revealed, rounded out with notes of citrus fruits and lime. Medium to full bodied, refreshing and vigorous acidity, with the aromas on the mouth following those of the nose. Elegant, balanced and with a long finish.

The Domaine Skouras 2023 Moscofilero is light in color and bright in transparency. The main attraction here is the bouquet that shows floral notes of plumeria and night-blooming jasmine. It boasts an exotic personality with a hint of peach-like sweetness over a lean (and nicely fresh) mouthfeel.
A pink-skinned variety from the Peloponnese, Greek Moschofilero produces a delicatly perfumed, fresh white wine. There on the Mantineia plateau, the cool growing conditions allow ample time for the grapes to develop balanced sugars and aromatics. Moschofilero is actually the most popular of many mutations of the ancient Fileri grape. These range in color from white to red and produce an array of styles including fruity pink and sparkling versions. Somm Secret—If you already love Muscat, definitely try Moschofilero. Though the grapes are unrelated, they produce remarkably similar wines.
A large southern region of Greece, the Peloponnese contains the famous appellations of Nemea and Mantineia. While connected to the mainland by a tiny strip of land, essentially the region is a large Mediterranean island and excels in the production of red wine from Agiorghitiko, white from Moscofilero and sweet wine from the Mavrodaphne grape.
