Amethystos Rosé
Description
Protected Geographical Indication Drama
The Oenogist and winewriter Argyris Tsakiris dubs the Amethystos as “the parent of the rich rosé wine category” and not unjustly. Since 1992, when it was first introduced, it created many imitators and countless friends.

Tasting Notes
Crystal bright, deep rosy colour.
Expressive aromatic presence in tones of redcurrant and strawberry candy.
Lively at first contact, it then reveals a model combination of richness and acidity, completed by the long fruity finish.
Food Pairing
Ideal match for many staples of Greek cuisine like stuffed vegetables, ”ladera” (vegetables cooked in an olive oil-based sauce), seafood and fish in tomato sauce, but also, a valued ally to face the spicy challenges of indian or Thai cuisine.
Ageing
3 – 4 years from harvest.
