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

Few countries in the world can claim such an illustrious history of viticulture as that found in Greece, just as few countries can benefit from such an impressive range of terrain as that found across the mainland and islands of this ancient and fascinating land. When we consider that grapes are grown everywhere from the tiny islands in the Aegean sea, to larger land masses such as Rhodes and Crete, on the arid and rocky mainland and mountainous regions of Greek Macedonia, it is no wonder Greek wines show such huge diversity in style, flavor, aroma and character. One thing remains consistent, however, and that is the dedication to producing distinctly 'Greek' wines, full of characteristics which reflect the slow evolution of viticulture in a country which has been producing wine for several thousand years. Whilst certain wines, such as Retsina and those made from the Agiorghitiko grapes have long since been popular with fine wine drinkers world-wide, Greek wineries are continuing to produce superb wines using a wide range of native and imported grape varietals, meaning there are always plenty of new flavors and aromas to discover.
