One of those wines that exerts a “spiritual charm” over you. Its beauty lies in its unconventional character. Nothing you’d expect from a Mediterranean red wine, but rather a perfect embodiment of the potential of the Tainian terroir in terms of freshness and elegance. A natural wine with no sulfur at all, which directly highlights the fruit and floral...
Elegance, finesse, and outstanding drinkability define a wine that is allowed to express itself without intervention. Natural winemaking with spontaneous fermentations, without the addition of sulphites at any stage of the process, from grapes grown on a unique granitic terroir. Its color recalls the light reds of the past, while the palate is remarkably...
Manual harvesting from old dry vines of the Black and Xynisteri varieties, de-stemming without breaking the rails, followed by pre-fermentation maceration for 18-20 hours for Black and 6 hours for Xynisteri. The fermentations of the two varieties are carried out in separate tanks in order to preserve the typicality of each variety. At the end of...
A landmark wine that proves the strength and stubbornness of Iliana, who despite the difficulties due to the fire that destroyed a large part of her old vineyards, managed to "enchant" us again with her new rosé. In a blessed place where old goblets abound, Iliana turned to the great variety of Crete, Liatiko, in a rosé vinification that raises the bar....
The rosé wine produced by the Garakis winery comes from the same grapes used to make the family's red Mantilari wine. Twelve hours after the grapes are crushed, part of the must is bled off to produce the rosé, while at the same time enhancing the concentration of the red. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures,...
Nerello Mascalese gives excellent rosés and Marco de Grazia's Etna Rosato from younger vines in different parts of the estate is a rosé that is etched in the memory. A real firework of intensity and minerality, it's not unlike the playground and candied fruit that comes to mind when it comes to rosé wines. With pulsating energy and tensions, salty...
Rosé Fleur de Pinot is based on very old Pinot Noir vines with a percentage of about 5% of Pinot Beurot (Pinot Gris). Sylvain considers the fruit from the three old vineyards to be the best overall from the estate. About half of the grapes are pressed directly with the whole clusters, while the remaining half undergoes 36-48 hours of juice maceration with...
Edenia Fuxia comes from 70% Limniona and 30% Zalovitiko grapes, grown in Kalogries, at an altitude of 320–340 meters and a slope of 13%. The two varieties are blended after 4 hours of pre-fermentation maceration before pressing. Fermentation is spontaneous, with indigenous yeasts, 90% in stainless steel tanks and 10% in second-use French barrels. After...
Low yields, organic farming and the daily presence and involvement of Michalis Tsafarakis in the vineyard he loves so much are key points in the quality of the wines he produces. Only 1400 bottles are produced from this excellent rosé which is pressed directly as soon as the grapes are broken to get just enough colour. Pre-fermentative maceration at low...
