Vinalia x Bosinakis, Moschofilero

Founded in 1992, Bosinakis Winery is renowned for its exceptional interpretation of Moschofilero. The next generation, siblings Sotiris and Katerina Bosinakis, took over in 2009, determined to elevate Moschofilero beyond its typical table wine status. Their powerful expressions showcase the grape's potential for aging and complexity. In addition to their celebrated white and rare rosé, they experiment with natural winemaking techniques and collaborate with Chatzakis Winery to blend Assyrtiko with Moschofilero, further expanding the grape’s possibilities.

The Peloponnese, forming Greece's southern tip, has a viticulture tradition that stretches back between 4,000 to 7,000 years. Deeply intertwined with historic cities like Sparta and Corinth, this region was once a significant player in the global wine market. In the Middle Ages and through the Renaissance, the port of Monemvasia was among the most active, achieving high demand for the local Malvasia wines. Among its high elevations lies the Mantinia appellation in Arcadia, celebrated for its cooler climate and purity in producing the prized Moschofilero grape.

Cultivated throughout the country, but especially in its ancestral home of the Peloponnese and the Mantinia appellation, Moschofilero counts among the most beloved of Greece’s indigenous varieties. While predominately vinified into a white wine, its pink skin also allows for production of compelling, but rare, Moschofilero rosé. The grape is celebrated for its refreshing and floral wines with a salty, seaspray finish.
