The bottles of 2019 proved to be very few as the wonderful Moschopolis 8 from Moschopolis winery disappeared within just a few months of its release.
The unique vinification, with the 8-month maturation in oak, adds to its complex and so unique character. The barrels used are both new (30%) and old (70%). The blend also known as Syrah and Xinomavro still participate in the blend 50-50.
And this year, like last year, we loved it for its structure, intensity, and sophistication that reminiscent of red wine and make it stand out from all the other roses that are out there. Light, onion, or salmon color, with a playful fruity character, is everything that Moschopolis 8 IS NOT. Here we are talking about a rose with vivid pink color which will shake you from the first sip and make you look at your glass again and again just to be sure that this is a rose wine. Rarely, a rose wine can offer so much excitement and even more rarely can stand right next to difficult and complex dishes such as caponata with tuna fillet or a seafood carbonara with smoked eel and pecorino. After all, Moschopolis 8 belongs to a unique (and our favorite) category called “Badass Rose”, and if you taste it you‘ll understand what we mean!
We forgot to tell you that this rose wine has aging potential, but something tells us that it will not last over a month ...!
