5 + 1 KOMPSOS ROSE 2022 - KARAVITAKIS WINERY

Kompsos Rose Karavitakis Winery is released and it is one of the most delicious Greek rose wines we‘ve come across this year. The finest red variety of Crete, Liatiko, in the hands of Nikos Karavitakis gives a delicate rose wine that overflows with elegance!

Nikos Karavitakis has undertaken to continue the brilliant work of his father, Manolis. Manolis Karavitakis was and is an emblematic figure for Cretan wine. With studies in Italy, he brought an air of renewal to Crete. When he returned, he brought ideas that were radical for the time and made noise. The bet for Nikos was big, he had to continue at this level while aiming higher. And how can you continue worthily the work of the man who first planted in Crete Negroamaro and Sangiovese? You deal with the most demanding and at the same time impressive red grape variety, Liatiko.

After Kompos red, he decided to make a rose version from Liatiko. For the ultimate expression of elegance, Nikos chose to let Liatiko speak on its own, with a very short maceration period and a three-month maturation with lees contact. The result has elegant color and impressive fruit purity, dressed with discreet floral notes and toffee touches! Just perfect!

Kompsos Liatiko Rose Karavitakis Winery is definitely the definition of elegance and the rose wine that you will love!

Kompsos Liatiko Rose Karavitakis Winery has bright salmon color and elegant aromas of strawberry, cherry, watermelon, peach, pink grapefruit, dried cranberry, cotton candy, rose, and jasmine.

In the mouth, it has medium (-) body, balanced acidity, and a subtle oily sensation. Juicy strawberry, raspberry, pomegranate, white cherry, bitter orange, pink grapefruit, watermelon, white flowers, and bubble gum compose a delicious ensemble.
