i. Biography
The defining move at Troupis Winery is a technical one: pink-skinned Moschofilero has been worked into rosé, orange wine, and even a light red, a first in Mantinia, through low-intervention winemaking guided by indigenous yeasts. In a region where the grape is usually read through a familiar aromatic frame, Yiannis Troupis has used it to test range rather than repeat expectation. The result is not a reinvention of the variety so much as a broader working vocabulary for it.
Coming Up
Today, Yiannis Troupis is manager of viticulture, director, and winemaker of Troupis Winery. Those roles connect the vineyard to the cellar without a break: decisions in the rows carry into the wines, and cellar work answers back to what the vines give. The scale of the job is broad, but the logic is tight, with the same attention running from fruit condition to final bottling.
Where They Are Now
Those responsibilities are built around a single focus: Moschofilero. At Troupis Winery, the variety is the house’s working core, the thread that links identity to experiment. Under Yiannis Troupis’s direction, it is kept in view without being fixed in place, turned into different forms while staying tied to its origin. That gives the portfolio a clear internal logic. Each wine sits within the same framework of restraint and curiosity, with tradition and innovation treated as tools rather than opposites. The work reads as deliberate rather than expansive for its own sake.
Signature
Yiannis’s signature wines include Hoof & Lur Moschofilero, Route Gris, Fteri Moschofilero, Ekato Moschofilero Rosé, and Tomi Rose. Read together, they show a winery working a single indigenous grape through several distinct expressions. The range is the point: different wines, same source, with Moschofilero carrying the variation in style, texture, and aromatic emphasis.
In Their Words “Since establishing Troupis Winery, our objective was to produce first-rate, quality wines from Indigenous Greek grape varieties using both traditional and newly innovative winemaking methods.” The statement is plain about the method. Indigenous Greek grape varieties remain central, and the winemaking draws from both inherited practice and newer technique. It matches the house style closely: hold to origin, but keep the method open.
