BLANC DE GRIS 2023 - DOMAINE TSELEPOS

There are wines that change the way you see a variety or even a whole region. Blanc de Gris of Domaine Tselepos is clearly one of them.

Yiannis Tselepos, the master of the genre, loves his beloved white variety in a unique way. Lees, batonnage, cold extractions, and impeccable technical management give Moschofilero a completely different feel than it’s accustomed to. His secret? Fermentation may start in the tanks but at some point, the wine is carefully moved in oak barrels until the end of the fermentation process.

Yes, all the tingling flowers and fruits that you are there. In the palate, however, things change. If you expect a classic light, almost non-substantial Moschofilero, prepare for great surprises. The Blanc de Gris of Domaine Tselepos has a surprising mouthfeel and texture. Its complexity and tasty length will excite you. And all this from Moschofilero!

We bow at Yiannis Tselepos for this. We raise a glass too!

Unique gentle silky white-yellow color with slim shades. Do not forget, of course, that Moschofilero is a reddish variety.

Impressive intensity and finesse on the nose. Bright floral aromas, mainly jasmine, rosewood, rose and lemon are complemented by citrus and pear. Apricot and lime complete the rich aromatic set while the touch of oak is soft, adding complexity to the bouquet.

On the palate, elaborately incorporated sharp acidity in a rich fruity body. The aromas of fruit and flowers are even more intense and distinct in the mouth. The perfectly balanced ensemble closes with a long buttery aftertaste which remains in the palate for a while.
