Xinomavro L'Esprit du Lac Rose
- Rose
- Xinomavro (100%)
Vinification & Aging
The must comes from the bleeding of the “Kali Riza” Xinomavro wine, or “saignée” method. Fermentation is done in stainless steel tanks at cold temperatures.
Wine is aged in stainless steel tank on its lees for 3-5 months with regular batonnage.
Ecosystems
L ’Esprit du Lac means, ‘’the spirit of the lake’’. Grapes are from the Amyndeon appellation in Northwestern Greece. The high altitude and the poor sandy soils of the area lead to the production of wines displaying finesse and a rare aromatic character. The four surrounding lakes act as a buffer zone creating perfect weather conditions for the cultivation of Xinomavro.
Tasting Notes
’Esprit du Lac or ‘’the spirit of the lake’’ is the new rose wine from Kir-Yianni Estate. It captures the dynamic spirit of Xinomavro into an elegant refreshing rose wine. Light body, fresh acidity with peach and strawberry aromas.
