| 75 | | | 88 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Do we think of Greece as a producer of sparkling wine? Well, think again, because it is. Greek law doesn’t allow vintage or appellation to be applied to sparkling wines, so don’t be concerned about that. Moscofilero, a crisp, light white wine grape, is the grape type used to produce this crisp sparkler whose second fermentation occurred in a tank (Charmat method). These grapes are grown organically at Domaine Spiropoulos, founded in 1879. This medium-bodied dry white sparkling wine shows a very pale yellow color and a moderately persistent fine bead. Delicate aromas of citrus and quince prepare the palate for the same characters. There’s a good mid-palate and the flavors continue through a moderate finish. Residual sugar (.9) keeps it within the “brut” range. Foods: Classic French onion dip and unsalted potato chips (doesn’t like the salted ones); taramosalata (excellent); smooth liver mousses; calamari with lemon aioli; fried cheeses-stuffed zucchini blossoms; stuffed vine leaves (dolmades); deep-fried Greek potato balls; vegetable croquettes; raw oysters with lemon and other lightly cooked seafood. OK with salmon caviar, but not exciting.
