Where does it come from?

Modern technological vinification with the pre-fermentation extraction method at 10°C for 8 hours. Fermentation takes place at low temperatures. The wine remains for a limited time in stainless steel tanks for a short contact with the fine lees.

Wine with excellent freshness and strong acidity. Delicate aromas of great intensity, mainly of citrus fruits and lemon blossoms. They are complemented by the characteristic rose aromas that Moschofilero brings out. Clean mouth with a strong aftertaste.

The variety...

Anyone in pursuit of a Greek white grape variety which promises refreshment and enlivenment, offering unprecedented exoticism in a Mediterranean country, should look no further than Moschofilero (Moss-koh-FEE-leh-roh). “moscho”, the first part of its name, has the meaning of a charismatic grape, the most aromatic one of the Filéri grape family.

Discover the unique character of the grape by choosing one of Cinque’s wine tastings or enjoy it by the glass at wine bars in Athens.

The winery...

Yiannis and Amalia Tselepos founded Ktima Tselepos in 1989. The estate is located at the southeastern end of the Mantinian plateau, at an altitude of 750 meters. The exceptional soil and climate of the region, characterized mainly by the continental climate, poor claystone soils, and excellent sun exposure, were chosen for their ability to produce high-quality wines.
