  7/4/2018 - The years of the grape Likes this wine: 89 Points

  Very nice sparkler made in the tank method from the second pressing of Xinomavro grapes.
  If you re-read the first sentence it may not sound appetizing, but in fact it tastes quite good: flowers (rose), fresh strawberry and red cherry fruit and also (but this could be just an impression) a hint of... mortadella. I swear I wasn't eating anything when I tasted it and yet it had this meaty character that stuck into my mind.
  The bubbles are fine, the acidity is well balanced by the sugar (18 g/L, quite sweet) and the wine has a nice weight on the palate.
  
  Reasonably priced and well made.

  Very pleasant well balanced sparkler with good bubbles and just a touch of semi sweet flavor - served on Mothers day with ham and cheese brioche - excellent pairing...

  Body, but not as pronounced as previous vintages. Comes off more Extra Dry than Sec.

  Totes φράουλα. Lovely crisp and fruity sparkler with body and depth and true rosé skin. Good stuff.
