Boutari Moschofilero (75cl, 11.5%)

Boutari Moschofilero is a 100% Moschofilero Greek white wine from the Mantinia PDO, bottled at 11.5% ABV in a 750ml format. The 2016 vintage earned 92 points from Wine Enthusiast and landed at #50 on their Top 100 list for 2017. Grapes come from high-elevation vineyards at roughly 650 metres on the Mantinia plateau, and the wine is fermented and held in stainless steel for three months before bottling. The nose opens with white rose and orange blossom, shifting into citrus peel, cantaloupe melon and ginger-like spice. On the palate there are lemon and grapefruit, green apple, melon and a light peppery note, with herbal and mineral undertones. The finish is moderately long and aromatic, with lingering orange blossom and grapefruit pith.
