MAVROSÉ - ROSE WINE

80% Avgoustiatis - 20% Mavrotragano

Composition/Winemaking: A blend of 80% Avgoustiatis and 20% Mavrotragano, from the Sparveri and Agios Dimitrios vineyards at an altitude of 400m above sea level. Direct pressing is followed by alcoholic fermentation using isolated indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wine is bottled after a short period on its fine lees.

Tasting notes: Pale pink color, with an elegant nose of strawberry and raspberry fruit. Lovely lifted acidity and hints of saltiness on the palate, this is a bright, vinous and structured rosé with long lasting finish. Delicious and gastronomic combining both savoury and fruity elements this is a wine that fills the mouth with fragrance.

T-OINOS project

The magic of the site, the roughness of the climate on the island, the stress imposed on the vines lay the evidence of a production philosophy based on purity.

Vintage 2020

Mild winter with high amount of rainfall. Budbreak commenced around middle of March. Flowering was set on spring with low amount of rainfall and low temperatures that went on until the end of April. Temperatures in May were slightly elevated, so were in June. July was warm but without excessive heat. August was mild with strong winds. The vintage of 2020 is characterized as an excellent vintage due to the ideal weather conditions and the homogeneous grape maturation.

Separate and successive handpicking of the grapes, in twenty kilos cages early in the morning. Grapes directly pressed. Fermentation in controlled temperatures.

Pale pink hue with violet reflections. The nose is full of cherry aromas with delicate red currant smell. Mouthwatering and fresh with a saline minerality after taste. A charming wine.
