Tasting Characteristics: Intense purple colour with ruby hues. On the nose it is complex with a bouquet ranging from violets to ripe strawberry and from tomato to tobacco.

AMYNTAS WINERY
The Amyntaion plateau is a special place. In one of the coldest regions in Greece, at an elevation of over 600 metres (2,000 feet), surrounded by high mountains and graced with four lakes this terroir is exceptional for vine cultivation. In this unique land the Amyntas Winery is making history for over 65 years. The only PDO in Greece for rosé sparkling wines, certified back in 1972, the region also produces still reds and rosés with elegant complexity due to the unique character of the Xinomavro grown in Amyntaion.
