Thymiopoulos Estate Wine "Rose de Xinomavro" 750ml

A special and unconventional rosé wine. Apostolos Thymiopoulos goes against the rule that rosés should only be drunk fresh, creating a mature rosé from Xinomavro that is already in its second year and justifies its producer.

Its color is deep ruby. Its aroma is ripe and reminiscent of red fruit jams, sun-dried tomatoes, caramel and sweet spices. Its taste is full, with lively acidity, minimal tannins and a caramel aftertaste.
