2022 is the first vintage of “Dafnios” rosé and is another reason to love Liatiko, Vidiano and Dafnes! “Dafnios” derives from the name of our village, Dafnes.
Serving Dafnios Rosé wine
Serve at a temperature of 11-13⁰C and it is an excellent accompaniment to Mediterranean cuisine. Pair it with dishes that include tomato, okra with chicken, eggplant Imam bayildi, Greek stuffed vegetables, green beans and olive oil stew, pasta with tomato sauce, but also with pizza margarita or Italian pasta such as arabiata or puttanesca. Try it with creamy textures like the original carbonara. Elevate your enjoyment by pairing it with a lobster pasta, carpaccio or enjoy it on its own.

Dafnios Rosé Tasting Notes

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | Greece | Pavlos Gegas, Wine Critic | www.gegas.gr | 2022 | Almost deep salmon in colour. The elegant aromatic profile of the nose initially veils early ester notes, tucking them into a dense layer of dark-toned and pink citrus, joined by a subtle hint of ripe persimmon and an even lighter touch of unripe apricot, with a brief suggestion of tomato marmalade. Fully ripe orange-coloured blossoms appear in the background, accompanied by a gentle peppery note that brings together spicy and herbal nuances. Excellent on the palate, it avoids aromatic flamboyance, instead expressing a sense of tension, savouriness and seriousness. The body is nearly full, while the vibrant acidity reads the fruit beautifully, distributing the flavour profile with precision and faithfully reflecting the aromatic impression, placing slightly more emphasis on the red-citrus spectrum. Soft, barely perceptible tannins add freshness and a hint of minerality, with a well-judged balance of discreet residual sugars that makes the wine highly gastronomic. The finish is long and very good, built on mineral foundations and marked acidity, playfully releasing its spicy and peppery notes into the vegetal and herbal arc that defines it, while seamlessly integrating the pronounced alcohol, which never protrudes. A firm 90 points for late summer and beyond, marking a very strong entry of this label into the rosé category. |
