Moschato Spinas
Product of organic farming
An elegant and refreshing Moschato Spinas, ideal for any occasion.
Moschato Spinas is an extremely rare, indigenous variety grown at the Paterianakis Estate. It originates from western Crete and in ancient times was known as the “bee’s grape,” as bees would often gather around the harvest baskets, drawn by its sweet and aromatic profile.
The uniqueness of this particular wine lies in the contrast between its nose and palate. On the nose, it is rich and floral, while on the palate it is refreshing and lively.
