2019 Papras Bio Wines Coccinela Rosé

Region: Tyrnavos < Greece

Grape: Black Muscat of Tyrnavos

Vineyard/Cellar Stats: Certified organic farming; limestone soils; Fermented with indigenous yeast in stainless steel tank, paper filtration; minimal So2 at bottling only; 12% ABV 

Winemaker: Stegios Papras

Stegios Papras, a big believer in organic viticulture, makes fresh wines from the indigenous grapes of the area of Tyrnavos, at the base of Mount Olympus. This bright fuschia rosé gets its color naturally from a quick press of the black-skinned, ferociously aromatic Black Muscat of Tyrnavos. It smells like opulent Tuberose flowers, Fruit Loops and drippy, juicy nectarine, but the palate is dry and snappy, with grapefruit, blood orange, rose water and stone fruits. Amazing with Indian curries or a summery salad with fruit and cheese.
