Skouras Moschofilero 2007
A nose like viognier & chenin blanc, light bodied, low alcohol and tingling dryness on the palate. As with many under-represented varietals on the marketplace, Skouras really champions the easy-to-love characteristics of moschofilero, which made me scratch my head "why haven't I heard of moschofilero more?!" We sampled this wine with a very salty-sweet Quorn "chickenless" dish, dill & chive fried potato coins and lemon zest soycutash (check your TJ's frozen aisle). I really enjoyed the bright floral acidic character of this wine against the salt-friendly dish, it cleared my palate of saline and held up against the strong sweet flavors.
I purchased the wine at the Hollywood location of K&L Wines where I also purchased a Brunello di Montalcino (I'm hoping to capture those figgy/nutty aromas with a slightly older 2001 vintage), and a Cremant rose from the Loire. So more write-ups will ensue!
