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 and drippy, juicy nectarine but the palate is dry and snappy, with raspberry, balsamic, black tea and stone fruits. Amazing with Indian curries or a summery salad with fruit and cheese.
