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
“The 2019 Monograph Moschofilero is dry, unoaked and comes in at 12.5% alcohol. Fresh, bright and crisp, this pure and tightly wound Moschofilero drinks great today and has just enough substance in the mid-palate as well. There's tension on the finish and fine structure overall. The acidity makes this refreshing, and it leans to acidity rather than mere fruitiness. At the price, this is a no-brainer bargain.”
