Boutari Moschofilero

Name: Boutari Moschofilero
Color: White
Varietal: Moschofilero
Vintage: 2009
Country/State: Greece
Region: Martinia
Price: $13
Stars: 4.5 (out of 5)

We had this wine (our first from Greece) with dinner last night (fish with a corn salsa relish), and it was excellent. It was our first experience with a Moschofilero and it definitely won't be the last. I hope I can find more of this varietal from other producers to see how it compares to this one from Boutari.

The wine was light and fresh, clean and bright. It's a very easy drinking wine, perfect for sipping on its own or with light dishes. It has less than 12% alcohol, so it won't weigh you down. It has flavors of crisp green apples and pears, lots of pears, with a bit of grapefruit and citrus at the end. It's not very complex, just delicious. We finished this bottle very quickly!
