Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The color is light white-yellow. Opulent aromas of white flowers, light and fresh and honeysuckle, rounded out with notes of rose petal and passion fruit. Bright, joyful acidity that is positively refreshing leads to a surprisingly long finish of orange rind and a whisper of white pepper.

    The 2013 Moscofilero (with Skouras' alternative transliteration, in case you're wondering why spellings vary) is an un-oaked white that comes in at just 12%. I doubt that this is as concentrated as last year's entrant, but that doesn't mean it isn't enticing. In fact, it shows all the minerality I tend to expect from the bottling. This is an understated but very expressive bottling that is just irresistible. As it warms, it reminds me of all the things I have come to love about this grape. Size isn't everything. Don’t expect to be wowed, but the bottle will empty fast. Drink now-2018.

    A succulent white, with concentrated gooseberry, ripe grapefruit and melon flavors that are well-spiced. Light cream and lavender notes emerge on the crisp finish. Drink now through 2016.

Argolida Valley in Peloponnesos is a blessed land full of nature's gifts: world-famous for its citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, tangerines), its olive oil and olives, it is now fast becoming synonymous with our wines also. George Skouras, proprietor, oenologist and wine-maker at Domaine Skouras studied oenology at the University of Dijon. He went to work for a number of wineries in France, Italy and Greece before setting up his own in Pyrgela in Argolida Valley 1987.

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 picturesque Mediterranean nation with a rich wine culture dating back to ancient times, Greece has so much more to offer than just retsina. Between the mainland and the country’s many islands, a wealth of Greek wine styles exists, made mostly from Greece’s plentiful indigenous varieties. After centuries of adversity after Ottoman rule, the modern Greek wine industry took off in the late 20th century with an influx of newly trained winemakers and investments in winemaking technology.

The climate—generally hot Mediterranean—can vary a bit with latitude and elevation, and is mostly moderated by cool maritime breezes. Drought can be an issue for Greek wine during the long, dry summers, sometimes necessitating irrigation.

Over 300 indigenous grapes have been identified throughout Greece, and though not all of them are suitable for wine production, future decades will likely see a significant revival and refinement of many of these native Greek wine varieties. Assyrtiko, the crisp, saline Greek wine variety of the island of Santorini, is one of the most important and popular white wine varieties, alongside Roditis, Robola, Moschofilero, and Malagousia. Muscat is also widely grown for both sweet and dry wines. Prominent red wine varieties include full-bodied and fruity Agiorghitiko, native to Nemea; Macedonia’s savory, tannic Xinomavro; and Mavrodaphne, used commonly to produce a Port-like fortified wine in the Peloponnese.
