I don't think I've ever had a rosé from Greece before. This was very nice. The color is beautiful, sort of an electric pink/pomegranate/orange. Palate shows strawberry, red cherry, light watermelon notes, and slight hints of meat that made me recall Provencal rosés from grapes like Mourvèdre. Dry palate. The acidity is moderate, the wine fresh and clean. Purchased on a whim at Bottle Shop in Spring Lake, NJ. Very nice summer wine. 100% Xynomavro. The fruit gets deeper and darker overnight, now showing darker red cherry notes.

This rose is full bodied but also has wonderful minerality. A great choice for summer
