NIKOS GAVALAS winery (Greece, Crete) ΕΘΗΒΟΣ EFIVOS DRY ROSÉ BLEND (Kotsifali, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon)
VINTAGE 2015
ΕΘΗΒΟΣ is organic rosé by Nikos Gavalas, region of Heraklion, Crete. Kotsifali/Syrah/CS (60/20/20).
Limpid red in color, reminiscent of ripe strawberry.
Red berries attack the nose (wet plum mostly, plus some strawberry and wet underbrush). Mint cake whiff.
Medium plus body with zesty bitterness, just right acidity. Red currant dominant. Cranberry, red apple & ashberry.
Piquant ashberry bitterness on medium+ length finish.
Too heavy to be standalone hot relief, better to be paired with beef carpaccio.
