A striking example of the beauty of rosé wine from the privileged wine-producing zone of Amynteo. The Xinomavro showcases its refreshing acidity, along with a richness of aromas from wild fruits and tomato, to create one of the most beloved Greek rosés. A hint of tannins helps it accompany light meat dishes, as well as stews.

- Producer's Description
- Intense cherry color with iodized reflections and an aromatic palette of fresh tomato against a background of strawberry and quince. The acidity of Xinomavro is balanced by the creaminess of the alcohol and mild tannins, resulting in a flavor-balanced wine that also possesses rich body and long finish. Vineyard The vineyards are located at an altitude of 600 meters in the Agios Panteleimon area, within the boundaries of the PDO Amyntaio wine zone. The yield per hectare does not exceed 800 kilograms, while the poor sandy soils provide the opportunity for the production of wines with exceptional finesse and rich aroma. The microclimate of the area is characterized by cold winters and warm summers, as well as the presence of four lakes, which create a mild continental climate that favors the cultivation of the Xinomavro variety. The variety of vineyard plots regarding their technological and phenolic ripeness from harvest to harvest makes us particularly cautious about the management of the harvest. We ensure to group the collection of raw material based on alcohol degree, acidity, richness in anthocyanins, and the weight of the bunch. This management pertains to each year individually and helps us execute different techniques during winemaking. Winemaking The must comes 85% from grapes that underwent pre-fermentation extraction, while the remaining 15% is achieved through bleeding from Xinomavro tanks designated for the production of the Paranga wine. The duration of pre-fermentation extraction lasts from 12 to 48 hours, provided that the raw material is uniformly ripe and rich in pigment and aromatic potential. Notably, 20% of the total volume of the blend ferments in French barrels with a capacity of 500 liters and an age of 2-4 years. In some tanks, alcoholic fermentation is halted by a sharp drop in temperature to 4°C to preserve residual sugars. Finally, the wine undergoes a 3-month period during which batonnage is carried out (3 times/week) to balance acidity with increased creaminess.

Αρέσει σε όλους
Ένα "εύκολο" αλλά αξιομνημόνευτο ροζέ που δεν απογοητεύει κανέναν.

Δεν λείπει ποτέ από το σπίτι
Απόλυτη σχέση ποιότητας - τιμής, δεν με πρόδωσε ποτέ με καλοκαιρινά λαδερά φαγητά, παραλιακούς μεζέδες αλλά και με πάσης φύσεως μακαρονάδες θαλασσινών (κυρίως). Entry level ροζε ξινόμαυρο στον συντηρητή μου απ' όπου δεν λείπει ποτέ από τότε που το δοκίμασα.

ωραίο!
ενδιαφέρον, με χαρακτήρα, έντονα φρούτα του δάσους και κυρίως φραμπουαζ... ευχάριστο, έχει λίγες τανίνες που το κάνουν πιο ενδιαφέρον.

ΠΟΛΥ ΚΑΛΟ
Πολύ καλή επιλογή για ροζέ, απαλό στην γεύση, θα το προτιμούσα λίγο περισσότερο φρουτώδες, ιδανικό με φαγητό, σίγουρα θα το αγοράσω ξανά στο μέλλον χωρίς όμως να αποτελεί μία από τις πρώτες μου επιλογές.
