From: Peloponnese, Greece
Varietal: Roditis and Moschofilero
Argolida Valley in Peloponnesos is a blessed land full of nature's gifts: world-famous for its citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, tangerines), olive oil, and olives, it is now fast becoming synonymous with our wines also. George Skouras, proprietor, oenologist, and winemaker at Domaine Skouras studied enology at the University of Dijon. He went to work for a number of wineries in France, Italy, and Greece before setting up his own in Pyrgela in Argolida Valley in 1987.
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.
