From: Peloponnese, Greece
Varietal: Roditis and Moschofilero
Tasting Notes: The color is bright white-yellow with green hues. The nose is complex and the wine exudes aromas of fresh flowers, with hints of crushed blossoms and of fruits such as avocado. A relaxed pace and a luxurious texture give flavors of citrus fruit and touches of jasmine and mint. Ιn the aftertaste, the acidity travels across the palate for a clean, extended finish.
Pairing: Go Greek or other Mediterranean! Feta, greek lemon chicken, psari plaki (a greek style baked fish), avgolemono soup, yum. The aromatic complexity of the wine will really play off the bright and briny cuisine.
