Varieties: 100% Shiraz

The grapes are harvested early in the morning and transferred immediately to the winery. There, after careful sorting, the pneumatic presses are filled with whole grapes. Not only the finest but also the richest elements of the variety, those that are responsible for the special rosé color, are released by applying light pressures. Petaloudes is fermented at controlled temperatures to preserve the aromas and the freshness.

It boasts bright, playful color evoking the Rhone valley. Its fresh floral nose and its pleasant cool mouth complement its attractive appearance. A fresh and easy Greek wine that can be paired almost with everything.

Originates from the French Syrah varietal, cultivated with great care in the coolest spot in the estate’s vineyard, exclusively for producing rosé wine.

After the grapes are macerated at a low temperature, the wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks at 18°C.

It has a bright cherry colour with hues of blue and a rich aroma of red fruit (strawberry, cherry and blueberry) with notes of butterscotch.

It is a rich, balanced and full-bodied wine with excellent structure. Its refreshing acidity and fruity character give it a long, aromatic finish. A best seller Greek wine that accompanies everything!

Try it chilled at 10°C in its first two years.

Description

Fermented in stainless steel vats. Short skin contact, no malolactic fermentation and short ageing over fine lees. Fresh, crisp acidity, lively, aromatic.

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.
