A pét-nat rosé from Kamara Pure in northern Greece, blending Xinomavro, Malagousia, and Assyrtiko — bottled during primary fermentation, refermented with Xinomavro must, and left undisgorged for lees texture and a brisk, fruit-forward sparkle.
Tasting Notes
Lively and brisk on the nose with fresh citrus, red fruit, and a cool snap of watermelon. Strawberry and yeast dominate the palate. The crown cap holds in the natural fizz, the undisgorged lees give it broader palate weight and a creamy texture. A Greek pét-nat that uses three very different varieties to real effect.
