You know that here at botilia.gr, we don’t easily get excited, but when do, we are very excited. You also know that we are probably testing more wines than anyone else in Greece, and we reject more than 90% of them to get to those few we know you‘ll love. Well, now we are very excited! That's because we discovered a great big wine!
The time has come to meet Moschopolis 6! It's one of those times that the wonderful label is worthy (maybe even a bit short of) of the amazing content of the bottle. As for 6, it suggests the 6 months spent in the second use of French oak barrels.
Moschopolis 6 was released in limited bottles and is one of the first samples to be signed in full.
Leaving the vine to speak for itself and by applying pioneering methods, he ensures excellent quality and ideal fruit concentration. Assyrtiko is grown in the small, dry, and full of stones coastal family vineyard. By completely changing the image we have for the Assyrtiko vines, the fruit hangs at a height of 1.8 m for protection from the sun and high temperatures. And because nothing is common about this winery, Xinomavro participates in the blend with blanc de noir vinification giving unexpected complexity and depth. Minimal but crucial intervention, indigenous, wild yeasts, and bottling without filtering do the rest. And they do it really well.
Moschopolis 6 is a wine with a great future. Enjoy it now, but if you want to hear us, keep some bottles for at least five years. Trust us, it's worth waiting.
