A recent publication on Jancis Robinson, signed by Julia Harding MW, is dedicated to Novus A Priori Moschofilero 2024. JancisRobinson.com is widely regarded as the most influential digital wine platform in the world, and every article it publishes serves as a key reference point for professionals, buyers, and consumers internationally.
Julia Harding MW is one of the most authoritative voices in the world of wine, with a long-standing and highly significant body of writing on Greek wines. In 2023, she was among the judges of the Great Greek Wines, while in 2025 she was an official guest at the awards ceremony, where she co-presented the masterclass 12 Wines That Changed Greek Wine through the Great Greek Wines lists, together with Yiannis Karakasis MW.
Her decision to devote an in-depth article to Moschofilero confirms the consistently high-quality work being carried out by Mantinia’s producers with this variety, which was also the variety focus of Great Greek Wines in 2025.
At the heart of the article is Leonidas Nassiakos and his vision expressed through Novus winery. A Priori 2024, which was included this year among the Great Greek Wines, is presented as a clear and contemporary expression of Moschofilero, accurately reflecting both the character of the variety and the distinctive terroir of Mantinia.
Moments like these go beyond the success of a single label. They reflect the overall progress of Greek wine, the consistency and depth of the producers’ work, and the ability of indigenous varieties such as Moschofilero to stand confidently alongside internationally established wines. The presence of a Mantinian Moschofilero on the pages of JancisRobinson.com sends a clear message that Greek wine has a voice, identity, and genuine international resonance.
