Rose Dry Wine

Protected Geographical Indication: “CRETE”

GRAPE VARIETY: A seductive rosé wine, a blend of two varieties: the autochthonous Cretan

Kotsifali (60%) and the French originated Syrah (40%).

VINEYARD: In the area of Dafnes, near Heraklion (Crete), at 350 meters above sea level.

VINIFICATION: Before alcoholic fermentation, pre-fermentation in the form of cold maceration takes place, separately for each grape variety. Grapes are crushed and the skins remain in contact with the juice for a short period of time; this happens in order to achieve the pleasant rose colour of the wine. The alcoholic fermentation takes place at 17⁰C in stainless steel tanks.

AGEING POTENTIAL: The wine is fresh and not intended for ageing. Therefore, early consumption is recommended.

TASTING: Rich rose-coloured wine, similar to the colour of grains of a pomegranate, with gentle orange hues. The aroma is reminiscent of strawberry and cherry. Fruity and juicy flavour with just a hint of caramel. It has a soft and pleasant aftertaste.

SERVING WITH FOOD: Should be served at 10⁰C. It is ideal for summer, for a barbecue, for a picnic or just for sitting outside in your garden enjoying yourself. This wine pairs well with some traditional Greek starters, for example "fava pantremeni" (boiled split peas with onion), octopus tentacles in wine sauce or butter beans (giant white beans) with spinach in tomato sauce. It is perfect with lamb or young goat chops, cooked medium. It complements fish dishes such as striped red mullet, red mullet in the pan, smoked mussels scallops, grilled octopus tentacles and pasta with seafood. It would also be an ideal companion to a fresh fruit salad full of red summer berries.
