That's "Dionysus in Spring" on the label, and he is definitely worth picking up if you're looking to take a first step into Greek wine. Pronounced mo-sko-feel-ero, the grapes were grown at high elevations in the Peloponnese. Virtually unknown in Nashville until recently, more people are discovering it.
At 11.5%, the alcohol level is on the light side for an essentially dry white wine. The vinification was an all-stainless-steel process.
Tasting Notes: Color: Pale straw, greenish tint. Aromas: Bright citrus, melon, and honeyed floral notes. On the tongue, the acidity is good and the body is rather medium weight for an unoaked white. Flavorwise, starfruit and apricot reverberate in the crisp, barely-off-dry finish.
Closure: Real cork. Excellent value ($14).
