Wine Advocate
The 2022 Salto Moscofilero Wild Yeast, a Mavrofilero clone actually (Skouras says he was the first to isolate it), comes in at 12.1% alcohol, seven grams of acidity and less than a gram of residual sugar. It's a pretty energetic wine most years, including this one, reminding me at times of a Dry Riesling. There does seem to be a hint of green in the background, but that's hardly dominant. Unlike the regular Moschofilero, this is not always as flavorful and as fruity, but the precision and tension give it a set of bragging rights to call its own. Still, this is tense and a little tart in its youth (in bottle only some 90 days), and it is a little lacking in expression today. Can it develop? It has a good shot, but this might be a Moschofilero that is best drunk at the end of the year or next spring to give it some settle-down time. There is no rush. Under screw cap, it should hold rather well, for the rest of the decade or more, although I like to stay conservative in drinking windows with this grape.
Winery
Single-clone [mavrofilero] bottling grown at high altitude in Mantineia (the wine doesn’t get appellation because Skouras’ winery is outside of the appellation. Mostly free-run juice because of the grapes’ dark skins. Fermented in tank with indigenous yeasts with a short aging on the fine lees.

Country: Greece

It is almost impossible to understate the importance of local and regionally produced wines in Greek culture. Across the country, from the cities of the mainland to the villages, mountainous regions and islands, wine is produced using traditional methods and native grape varietals, and is drank in households and taverns, either accompanying the much loved local cuisine or alone as a refreshment under the blazing Mediterranean sunshine. For wine lovers around the world, Greece is known for producing several wines with something unique and interesting to offer, a refreshing change from the norm filled with surprises and complex, occasionally challenging or unusual flavors and aromas. Thanks to the vast range in terrain across the archipelago, Greek wine is as varied as it is delicious, meaning there is plenty to explore and enjoy from this fascinating and ancient country.
