Diamantis Magoutes Rosé 2021
Savor the sea freshness in this blend of Xinomavro and Moschomavro from Macedonia, Greece.
Continental climate, high altitude and a long wine growing history dating back to the 1670s. The Diamantis family began in the early 20th century with their first hand grafted vineyard. Three generations later the region had been affected by decline and neglect. Dimitrios and his business partner George Papageorgiou pushed to revive the almost extinct wine region by replanting their 18 hectares on rocky limestone soils perched on the slopes of the region. Organically farmed, low intervention and ambient yeasts with spontaneous fermentation, this unique blend of 80% Xinomavro and 20% Moschomavro.
Diamantis Winery Magoutes Vineyard Rosé Siatista PGI 2021
Pours a glowing coral in the glass. A bouquet of barely ripe peaches, wild strawberries, sea salt bread dough and minerals. This is the kind of rosé with exuberant acidity and an abundance of purity of flavors - ripe red berries cherries, strawberries and raspberries, candied orange zest, rose petals, cool mineral tones of sea salt and minerals and bread dough. Just plain delightful.
