“72” is a standout Moschofilero from Moropoulos Winery, sourced from a single vineyard planted in 1972. The old vines, combined with Lefteris Anagnostou’s unconventional winemaking approach (amphora and oak), have given us a Moschofilero of truly exceptional class.
The Moropoulos family has a long tradition in viticulture and decided about a decade ago to create their own wines, focusing exclusively on Moschofilero and its many expressions. Among their 12 hectares of privately owned vineyards in the heart of the Mantinia PDO, one parcel stood out — the one planted in 1972. When they first worked with the fruit from the oldest vineyard in Mantinia, they immediately recognized its potential and decided to craft a wine that would reflect every virtue of the place that gave birth to it. The result proved them absolutely right, and they dressed it in packaging that signals from the first glance that this is a wine deserving your full attention.
“72” comes from the 2021 vintage, with the old vines yielding a small amount of concentrated fruit. Fermentation took place in a combination of stainless steel, oak barrel and amphora. The wine then matured in the same vessels for 12 months before the final blend was assembled, which remained on its lees in stainless steel for an additional 36 months prior to bottling.
“72” from Moropoulos Winery is a unique Moschofilero with impressive concentration and aromatic complexity — a wine that will convince even the most skeptical of the variety’s potential.
