Field Blend Rosé
Dry Farmed & Low Intervention Rosé Wine
Harvest & Vineyards
100% hand-picked, organic & dry-farmed Mavrotragano 70% & Mavroudi 30% grapes from our Mavrokopa vineyard.
These vines are now 5 years old; the grapes were harvested all together on the same day in the 1st week of September.
The Mavrotragano has nice fresh acidity whilst the riper Mavroudi is fat and juicy.
Altitude: 220m above sea level at the
foothills of Mt Pangaion.
Soil type: Loose-red/brown-silty topsoil 60cm. Below that thick/dense white clay.
Thoughts
Ripe pear, rose petals and subtle spices on the nose, pomegranate, watermelon & vanilla on the palate. Subtle yet powerful, not your average Rosé!

Vinification
The grapes are loaded into the press as whole bunches.
The 1st portion of juice is pressed directly to Acacia & Oak barrels, and the balance goes to stainless steel.
Wild fermentation takes place and after that, the barrels and tank are gently stirred for 7 months on their yeast lees.
Un-fined & un-filtered with only minimal use of SO2 following fermentation until the final blend.
