Why do we love it?

We’ve always wondered just how well two international red varieties, grown in Greek soil, could blend to create a perfectly balanced rosé, highlighting the best of both grapes. The answer landed in our glasses like a gift from the wine gods, a Wednesday morning from Pieria! Meet Estella from Kitrvs Estate.

The village of Kitros in Pydna has been making waves in winemaking, thanks to George Garypidis and his obsession with precision in vineyard cultivation. With a northeastern orientation and just 3km from the sea, his vineyards achieve optimal grape ripeness. Low yields ensure intense concentration and depth.

For Estella, a bold 90% Syrah was paired with 10% Aglianico, a genius balance where Syrah provides volume and Aglianico adds its  elegance and vibrant acidity. The juice, gently pressed from the grapes—with a small portion coming from whole clusters—fermented and aged for six months in concrete tanks, enhancing structure, depth, and fresh fruitiness. The result? A rich, textured rosé with a long, peppery finish.

You simply won’t get enough of it!

ESTELLA ROSE 2024 - KITRVS WINERY

PAIR IT

with lobster pasta, saganaki prawns, sea bass with a soft beurre blanc

Orzo pasta with shrimps, finocchio and Arseniko of Naxos

600 g fresh shrimps

250 g orzo

150 g finocchio

50 ml. ouzo or white wine

50 g butter

40 g olive oil

1 teaspoon tomato paste

50 g Arseniko of Naxos

Fresh fennel

Freshly ground pepper

Salt

 

For broth

1200 ml. water

1 onion

1 carrot

2 cloves of garlic

1 sprig celery

1 sprig of thyme

1 bay leaf

4-5 black peppercorns

salt

 

Peel the shrimps and remove the heads, which are put in a saucepan to prepare the broth.
With a knife, cut and remove from each shrimp the black intestine. Rinse and keep the shrimp aside.

Put in the pot with the shells and heads, all the above ingredients for the broth and boil for about 20 minutes. Pass the broth through a sieve and keep it hot.

For the orzo, finely chop the onion and finocchio into thin slices. In a large-sized pan, sauté in olive oil onions and finocchio until they are softened and then add the orzo.

Stir continuously and when the orzo is glistening, add tomato paste, pepper, wine and start adding the hot broth. Add it in 5-6 doses, stirring regularly with a wooden spoon.

When the orzo is nearly done and you have 1 dose of the broth left, add it along with the shrimp, season with salt and a little more pepper.

Stir for 3 minutes and remove from heat. Orzo must be juicy and thickened. Then add the butter and the Naxos cheese and finely chop finocchio's green leaves.
Dangle lightly and cover the pan. Before serving, stir and add to each plate some fresh fennel finely chopped.

Notes
- You can add 3-4 anise seeds for extra flavor and taste
- We prefer fresh shrimps but it is not necessary
- Alternatively you can use a spicy Gruyere
- Orzo can be made with other seafood such as shellfish, squid or cuttlefish
- Be careful to remove the orzo from the heat while it is quite juicy and al dente because ti tends to absorb the liquids and continue cooking
- You can add some sundried tomatoes
