Magoutes Siatista Rose 2023 750ml

Winemaker Description

Magoutes Vineyard is located at 800 metres above sea level in the inhospitable region of Siatista in Macedonia. The rosé is a blend of 80% Xinomavro and 20% of the über rare Moschomavro (meaning black Muscat), grown almost exclusively by Dimitri Diamantis.

This is a classic case of the vineyard holding sway over the wine making, thanks to Dimitri's very low intervention methods. Spontaneous fermentation, racking off skins and then left in old barrels to finish.

Delicate, partridge eye colour, subtly aromatic bouquet with hints of redcurrants and fraises de bois, the flavours are wonderfully fruity within a structured core of zingy acidity.
