Moschofilero 2023

A lovely and charming wine with precise layers of orange blossom, honeysuckle and a citrus uplift to balance. The freshness also balances the hint of rose water. Our Moschofilero is a beautifully crafted wine that is delicate, elegant and aromatic.

The only Moschofilero vines planted in Cyprus. This variety is known for having pale pink skins which darken as the berry ripens.

Produced by Marathasa Wines

Tucked away in Marathasa valley, Marathasa Wines is the result of one man's dream and plenty of grit. John Papadouris, a former civil engineer, envisioned restoring the valley's winemaking heritage, a vision carried forward by his daughter Alexa, her husband Andrew, and their cousin Stavros, with the help of the vine guru Victoras. Marathasa's mountainsides have hosted vineyards for generations, with family traditions including stomping grapes in home wine presses. John's family history was soaked in wine, as his grandfather traversed the trails with donkeys laden with wineskins filled with Marathasa's prized wines. The decline of the mountain wine trade in the mid-20th century spurred Marathasa Wines' mission to acquire and rejuvenate abandoned vineyards, preserving traditional methods while introducing modern techniques. Today, they're not just making great wine but also contributing to Cyprus' burgeoning fine wine community, blending history with innovation, one bottle at a time.
