The high demand for white instead of red wines and the low yields that the variety tends to produce in the arid slopes under the mountains, are responsible for its near extinction, as growers favoured other local varieties. As a grape that can withstand the heat, more and more producers of Central Greece turn lately to Mouchtaro.
Usually the wines of Mouchtaro are monovarietals and in reds the variety shows good affiliation with careful use of oak. In some cases it can be blended with international varieties. Tannins tend to be soft, and colour in grapes is rich, specially from old bush vines. It can boast a wide range of different styles of wines.
