Moschofilero
Moschofilero is a pink-skinned Greek grape variety primarily grown in the Peloponnese region, especially in Mantinia. It produces aromatic white wines with medium body, featuring distinct floral notes of rose petals and sweet spices, citrus, and crisp acidity. Moschofilero thrives in high-altitude, cool climates and is typically made into dry white wines, though it occasionally appears in sparkling varieties.
Perfect Pairings for Moschofilero
Discover dishes that beautifully complement Moschofilero wines
Feta and olive mezze
The briny, salty feta and olives in this Greek mezze call for crisp, high-acid wines that can cut through the richness while complementing the tangy flavors. For beer pairings, light wheat beers with citrus notes or clean, refreshing lagers work well, while a Gose's hint of saltiness creates an interesting complement to the dish's natural salinity.
Greek salad
Greek salad's bright acidity from fresh tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and tangy feta cheese calls for wines with matching acidity and refreshing qualities. The briny olives, herbaceous oregano, and olive oil richness create a Mediterranean profile that works beautifully with crisp, mineral-driven whites and light, effervescent beers that can cut through the richness of the feta while complementing the salad's fresh components.
Watermelon and feta salad
Watermelon and feta salad is a refreshing Mediterranean dish featuring the sweet juiciness of watermelon contrasted with the salty, tangy notes of feta cheese. This combination creates a delicate balance that calls for wines with vibrant acidity and beers with subtle tartness to enhance the dish's fresh character while standing up to the salty, creamy feta.
