100% Xinomavro sourced from Amyndeon, across the mountains from Kir-Yianni’s home base of Naoussa and a historical source for high-acid grapes for rosé. This is fermented to an irresistible 17 grams or so per liter of residual sugar before a Charmat-method secondary fermentation that comes out to a creamy 3.5 atmospheres of pressure.

"This wine is made from 100 percent Xinomavro, a grape local to Greece known for making structured and age-worthy reds. But this bottle proves that the variety also lends itself well to other styles, like sparkling rosé. The Xinomavro gives the wine a herbaceous flavor profile, with notes of wild strawberries and brambly blackberries filling out the nose. The palate is juicy, punchy, and refreshing."
