Moschopolis 6 Assyrtiko – Xinomavro

Moschopolis 6 – Assyrtiko & Xinomavro | Complex, exciting and unexpected

Moschopolis 6 is a fascinating, daring wine from Moschopolis Winery, in which the mineral character of Assyrtiko is combined with the freshness and structure of Xinomavro. A distinctive orange wine (skin contact) that brings together elegance, complexity and natural energy.

Grapes & origin
A blend of Assyrtiko (around 80%) and Xinomavro (around 20%) from high-altitude, unsprayed vineyards in northern Greece, in the region near Thessaloniki. The vines are worked biodynamically, with respect for nature and terroir.

Vinification
The wine undergoes skin contact with both grapes, resulting in an orange wine with structure, grip and depth. Fermentation with wild yeasts; ageing partly in amphorae and partly in used wooden barrels. Bottled unfiltered, with minimal intervention.

Tasting notes
Deep golden with a coppery tint. A complex nose of orange peel, apricot, tea, herbs and light oxidative notes. On the palate dry, rich and structured, with fine tannins, lovely acidity and a long, herbal finish. Exciting and gastronomic.

Serving tips
Serve lightly chilled at 12–14 °C. Ideal with umami-rich dishes: grilled mushrooms, roasted vegetables, matured cheeses, lamb with herbs, or Asian dishes with soy sauce and ginger.

Cellaring
Great ageing potential — can certainly develop for 5 to 8 years in bottle. Also delicious now, especially after decanting.
