• Blend of Xynisteri (a white grape) and Mavro (a red grape) indigenous to Cyprus. Pale pink / light salmon hue; bright, clear colour 13.5%.

• Dry – this is explicitly labelled Rosé Dry.

Nose

• Aromas of stone fruit (notably white peach) plus floral notes: rose petals, jasmine.

• Also hints of redcurrant/forest fruit.

• Some herbal notes in supporting background.

Palate 

• Velvety texture; fairly full for a rosé.

• Fruit flavours echo the nose: stone fruit (peach), red fruit touches (perhaps redcurrant/forest fruit), floral and herbal hints.

• Memorable, with a good aftertaste.

Pairing suggestions

Food pairing: works well with grilled fish / seafood, fresh summer salads; goes nicely with lighter Mediterranean fare. Also good paired with dishes that have floral or herbal components.
