The 2016 Rose 14-18H is very dry and all Agiorgitiko. Sourced from vines ranging from 15 to 30 years in age, it comes in at 13.5% alcohol. The 14-18h is the longstanding reference to the vinification process. The grapes are cool-soaked for approximately 14 to 18 hours at eight degrees Celsius. One of my longstanding favorites in Greek pinks, this is gloriously aromatic, throwing off cherries and raspberries. That follows through onto the palate. If you drink this young and fresh, you’ll think you just bit into some red fruit. (I wish everyone could taste this as young as I do, in perfect condition with perfect provenance.) Unlike some, however, this also has fine balance and reasonable freshness to support the fruit, so it never seems cloying. There isn’t a lot of concentration or power. Drink this young; being fresh is what it is all about. ... More details

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.
