Roz 2025

From two wonderful regions (Agonas and Chionata) and vineyards with an average age of 15 years. Their strict pruning and dry cultivation balance the good fertility of their age, resulting in excellent concentration of compounds in the grapes. The altitude is 350m, and the soils are clayey-sandy and clay-humic. The cultivation of the vineyards is dry and is carried out with great care and gentle manual methods.

The grapes are hand-harvested in small crates during the early morning or late afternoon hours and transported to the winery in our refrigerated truck to avoid damage and oxidation. Before processing, the grapes are cooled in a chamber to better preserve the fruit. The process begins with strict sorting, removing any unhealthy grapes. We only ferment the must from free-run juice, using selected neutral yeasts, gentle methods, and as naturally as possible to allow the variety and terroir to express themselves. We apply white winemaking techniques to avoid the extraction of tannins and pigments. The fermentation takes place in small-volume tanks (1-2 tons) without artificial additives for enhancement or clarification. The fresh wine matures and stabilizes with 6-month lees contact (Sur-lee method) and is bottled unfiltered to best preserve its character.

Roz  is the most modern expression of dry Mavrodaphne. It has a soft pink color with orange hues, a fresh red fruit character with minerality, and all the typical earthy and herbal elements of the variety are present.
