The 2019 Peplo Rosé, in bottle about 10 weeks when tasted, is a roughly equal blend of Agiorgitiko, Syrah and Mavrofilero, with only the Agiorgitiko in acacia barrels for four months. The Mavrofilero was in egg-shaped amphorae with skin contact. Nicely dry, it comes in at 12.5% alcohol. Overall, this is not even a little bit like the producer's other, more exuberant pink this issue. The modest wood treatment cuts the flavor slightly and makes this a bit sterner, just a little. It does not subsume the flavor or vigor of this wine, though. Elegant, refined and very sophisticated, with muted cherry nuances, this has a silky texture and lifted fruit. Although it has adequate body, it feels very graceful, dancing lightly across the tongue. The Zoe is best used on its own. This is perhaps better for the table as a food pairing, although it is certainly balanced well enough to drink on its own too. This is very nice and a step up.

Country: Greece

Few countries in the world can claim such an illustrious history of viticulture as that found in Greece, just as few countries can benefit from such an impressive range of terrain as that found across the mainland and islands of this ancient and fascinating land. When we consider that grapes are grown everywhere from the tiny islands in the Aegean sea, to larger land masses such as Rhodes and Crete, on the arid and rocky mainland and mountainous regions of Greek Macedonia, it is no wonder Greek wines show such huge diversity in style, flavor, aroma and character. One thing remains consistent, however, and that is the dedication to producing distinctly 'Greek' wines, full of characteristics which reflect the slow evolution of viticulture in a country which has been producing wine for several thousand years. Whilst certain wines, such as Retsina and those made from the Agiorghitiko grapes have long since been popular with fine wine drinkers world-wide, Greek wineries are continuing to produce superb wines using a wide range of native and imported grape varietals, meaning there are always plenty of new flavors and aromas to discover.
