The 1st Greek Sparkling Red!

SEND PAGE TO FRIEND

Why do we love it?

The fact that Xinomavro is a variety with many faces is well known. Βut a sparkling, red wine from Xinomavro is definitely a surprise! In fact, Aphrodite of Taralas Winery is one of the most pleasant surprises we've ever tasted.

Taralas Winery was founded in 2006 and their privately-owned 100 acres of vineyards were the source of their inspiration and experimentation. Creating impressive Naoussa PDO wines for years, they know Xinomavro as few do. So, it was about time for a different red wine from Xinomavro (with a small dose of Moschomavro), a sparkling wine with bright ruby color​ and tickling bubbles. Tannin-free color and vivd aromas, form the basis of Aphrodite. The second fermentation takes place in a closed tank to capture, into the wine, all the bubbles that will give it elegance, nerve and freshness!

It's the perfect pair for prosciutto di Parma, cold appetizers and parties!
