You have embraced the Xinomavro variety as much as we have. It never ceases to show us its infinite possibilities in almost all its versions, from the rich bone-crushing reds to the aromatic and intensely fruity rose wines. So this rose version is the answer to those who believe that rose wines are only consumed fresh.
Chemical engineer and oenologist Dimitris Kioutsoukis and his family decided to start their small boutique winery, based on the principles of permaculture. That is the design of a functional system of natural cultivation, which comes from the observation of nature and the gentle harmonization of human intervention, with the aim of their most natural possible cooperation. In Oreokastro Thessaloniki, the cold winters and hot summers give the 110 acres of family-owned vineyards the ideal conditions for the cultivation of Greek and foreign varieties with an emphasis on Xinomavro, Malagouzia and Assyrtiko and the production of amazing wines that speak for themselves!
For Stalisma rose, 100% Xinomavro fermented with the least possible intervention without the slightest addition of commercial yeasts. It stayed for about 2 months in old oak barrels and the contact with the lees gave it extra volume and complexity. A very well-made and balanced wine that was bottled unfiltered and without a trace of sulfites.
Enjoy the excellent Stalisma rose, which contains slightly more residual sugars than a dry wine and you will have it in your preserver for the next 3 years, as it is destined to develop wonderfully!
