Tasting notes:

Really profound nice rose color.  The nose is the characteristic of Xinomavro variety:sun dried tomatoes and black olives.Tints of strawberry and blackberry complete this impressive bouquet. In the mouth, rich, with intense and noticeable but well balanced acidity. At the end, the long persistent fruity aftertaste with little residual sugar leaves an impressive ‘greek summer’ sensation.

Vineyard notes:

Winemaking report:

The wine  ferments with indigenous yeasts, avoiding the heavy oenological operations, with no added oenological substances then we are putting the wine in old barrels for 2 months and we are doing battonage with its own fine-lees.We don’t do protein stabilization,only tartrate stabilization.Then we are bottling the wine in the beginning of the next spring with nothing added eventhough sulfites.

Aging potential:

Potential age up to 3 years. Bottled with a natural cork closure, in order to ensure a unique aging capacity. Ideal serving temperature between 12-16^ο C.

Food matches:

Incredible combination with Mediterranean vegetable dishes(briam, stuffed tomatoes, imam, moussaka),beef with red sause, pitza with mushrooms.Its nice to drink also with fruits and some cheeses.
