Cuvee Prestige Rose Wine 2022

Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) Peloponnese

Agiorghitiko 70%, Moscofilero 30%

Fermented in stainless steel vats. Short maceration, no malolactic fermentation and short ageing over fine lees. Screw cap. Ripe cherries, raspberries, rose petals, full and complex palate.

Tasting notes : The colour is bright, light cerise with pink hues. Vibrant and clear on the nose, with aromas of ripe cherries, raspberries, hints of flowers and rose petal notes. On the palate it has a medium body, moderately high acidity and the slightest suggestion of very ripe tannins. Flavours are consistent with the aromas, with a light sensation of sweet grass and bubble gum. The finish is moderately long, with developing flavours that lead to complexity.
