Winemaker's Note

Bright salmon pink color. Freshness on the nose, mostly with aromas of strawberry and cherry, together with notes of peach skin and flowers. Perfect balance on the palate between the refreshing acidity, the sweet mouthfeel, and the fruity flavors. Delicately sweet finish.

Analytical Data

Alcohol:  12%
Residual sugar:  11,7 g/L
Titratable acidity:  5,1 g/L
pH:  3,48

The grapes of the two varieties are carefully hand-harvested from selected vine parcels of collaborating growers in the broader area of Macedonia in Northern Greece. The climate of the region with the notable diurnal temperature variation, as well as the diversity in morphology with the combination of mountains and water bodies (sea, lakes, rivers) form ideal conditions for viticulture.

Rigorous sorting on conveyor belt for each variety separately. Cold soaking of uncrushed grapes in controlled low temperatures for 1-2 days. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks in contact with fine lees, with mild stirring (batonnage). The blend is made before bottling.
