Salto from Domaine Skouras is a white wine that makes a jump (salto means jump in Greek) and pushes the boundaries of Moschofilero, revealing its wilder and darker sibling — Mavrofilero. Mavrofilero is the darker clone of the variety, and in the right hands, it can become a wine with aromas of rose, jasmine, and herbs, paired with a razor-sharp acidity that means business. Tasty and gastronomic, it pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes — and the best part? It ages magically.
The winery of George Skouras, just outside Nemea, is a temple of precision and boldness. While Agiorgitiko takes center stage among the cultivated varieties, it’s complemented by international grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Viognier, as well as aromatic Greek ones like Moschofilero and the rare Mavrofilero. Each label captures the essence of the variety and the terroir, offering complexity and structure in every sip.
Salto is made exclusively from Mavrofilero, sourced from selected mountainous vineyards with low yields that guarantee quality and aromatic expression. The free-run juice ferments with indigenous yeasts that work quietly, resulting in a wine with nerve and depth — unlike any of its siblings.
If you love white wines with character, Salto is a stunning revelation. You can enjoy it now or over the next four years. You’ll be rewarded!
