Wine Description

One of the pioneers of the modern Greek wine revolution, Gai’a Estate (pronounced Yay-ya) was established in 1994 by Leon Karatsalos and winemaker Yiannis Paraskevopoulos. Their mission was to capture the best that Greece’s indigenous grapes have to offer by merging traditional viticultural and production methods with innovative techniques. The estate is named after “Mother Earth,” in honor of the unique terroir that gives birth to these world-class wines.

Acclaim
“With its aromatic, fruity nose, this dry white wine immediately announces itself as Moschofilero, the indigenous white wine grape grown throughout Greece. This iteration from Gai’a, one of the country’s most prominent modern wineries, is grown in calcareous clay soils at high elevations in the Mantinia region of the Peloponnese. It pours a pale straw color in the glass, and has lemon and stone-fruit aromas and flavors, bright acidity and minerally notes all through the long finish.” – (Best Buy) — Wine Enthusiast, Oct 2023
