Moschomavro, Diamantis Winery, 2021

The Moschamavro grape has wonderful floral aromatics, with soft red fruit, hints of cherry, cranberry plus some oregano and pink peppercorn. On the palate its juicy with lots of freshness keeping it all balanced. 

Diamantis winery is a small, quality focussed winery in Macedonia. And here with the Moschomavro grape variety we owe Dimitris Diamantis father for the grapes existence! In the 70s and 80s, as this variety started to be overlooked in favour of the more powerful Xinomavro, the vineyards dwindled into obscurity. Dimitris father loved the grape, however, and kept it in production in their vineyards with a small 3 hectare parcel planted in the early 90s. So influential are the family in the history of this grape variety, that if you purchase a plant from a nursery in Greece today, it is the result of the plant material from the Diamnatis vineyard! This is a rare variety indeed!
