Rated 89 by Wine Advocate
The 2015 Rosé 14-18H is the familiar Agiorgitiko pink from Gai'a. Fresh, crisp, clean and tasty, this youngster is in fine shape this year, emphasizing its sunny demeanor and relatively serious style. It projects elegance and grace, while maintaining fine intensity of flavor and a lively demeanor. In its youth, it has more than enough mid-palate solidity, too. A popular and traditional summer choice these days, this is a nice and nicely balanced effort. It should be glorious this summer, when it will likely be at its best.

Varietal: Agiorgitiko

For many thousands of years, the Agiorgitiko grape varietal has thrived in the arid mountainsides of the Peloponnese, where it is prized for its hardiness and high resistance to high temperatures. Typically, wineries in Greece cultivate Agiorgitiko grapes to have low yields with concentrated flavors, in an attempt to get the strongest characteristics from these flavorful grapes. Typically, Agiorgitiko grapes have beautiful plum flavors, with notes of other dark fruits and a spicy character, although they are notable for the fact that they respond very well to a range of wine making techniques. As such, there are many different styles of wine made from the Agiorgitiko grape, ranging from tannic and astringent to very soft and rounded. They are also popular with wineries due to the fact that they grow in often very infertile land, and improve the quality of the soil in which they are cultivated.

Country: Greece

Thanks to thousands of years of viticulture, and a dedication to quality and experimentation, Greek wines remain in a league of their own and continue to surprise and delight wine lovers around the world. From the refined and delicious Agiorghitiko wines, with their deep ruby red color and intense fruit flavors, to the unusual and highly aromatic fortified wines made with the black Mavrodaphne grapes, Greek wine is renowned for its variety and consistent excellence. It seems the blazing Mediterranean sunshine allows wineries to make the most of the late harvests and all the intensity of flavor this brings, resulting in wines which are bursting with fruit-forward character and unusual aromas.
