Mantinia Late Release 2020 from Moropoulos Winery is a Moschofilero that steps outside the usual boundaries of the variety. Released several years after harvest, it showcases the grape’s impressive aging potential and reveals just how much more Moschofilero can offer beyond what we typically expect.
Siblings Georgia and Kostas may have founded their winery in Neochori, Arcadia only recently, but their family has a long tradition in viticulture. They cultivate 12 hectares of privately owned vineyards at high altitude (680–700 m) in the heart of Mantinia. Production remains small, and in the winery they experiment with different styles and expressions of the variety — from diverse aging vessels to extended lees contact — crafting distinctive, gastronomic wines.
For Mantinia Late Release 2020 from Moropoulos Winery, the grapes are hand‑harvested. Whole‑cluster pressing ensures the purest possible juice, which then ferments in stainless steel to preserve the grape’s varietal character. The wine stays on its lees for 26 months, and after bottling it rests for another 12 months in the winery’s cellar before reaching your glass.
If you’ve ever wondered what an aged Moschofilero tastes like, trust us — this is a wine you absolutely need to try. Complex, creamy and beautifully refined, it’s made for generous tables and long meals.
