Recommended wine: Moschofilero, Assyrtiko, Agiorgitiko

Spanakopita can be paired with Moschofilero, Assyrtiko, and Agiorgitiko. If you feel like going Greek with your Greek food, assyrtiko and moschofilero are both lovely white wines to pair with chicken, seafood, etc. Agiorgitiko is a full bodied red suitable for roasted meats and lamb. You could try Troupis Winery Moschofilero Fteri. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 15 dollars per bottle.

Troupis Winery Moschofilero Fteri

An intensely fragrant wine combining the bouquet of night blooming jasmine, pomegranate and citrus fruits.Its excellent aroma and sharp taste make it a wine that can be enjoyed as an aperitif as well as an accompaniment to dishes such as pasta with basil, chicken a la creme, grilled prawns and pies.
