NEFOS ROSE 2020 - VOI VIGNES

Jason Ligas strikes again but this time from Rapsani, with a rosé with the mysterious (or not) name Nefos (s’epanuit en carafe) Voi Vignes. The classic red varieties of Rapsani, Xinomavro, Krasato, Stavroto, join forces in a delicious and gastronomic rosé wine.

The name of the wine is the smartest we have encountered since its translation means cloud (it will "bloom" in the carafe). And if you think about it, it has a double meaning: 1) that a turbidity, a cloud, will be created in the carafe since it is an unfiltered, low intervention wine and 2) that the wine needs a carafe to "bloom" and unfold its complexity. And both are true. In addition, Nefos consists of the classic blend of Rapsani (Xinomavro - Krasato - Stavroto), from 80-year-old vines, with several of them being ungrafted.

Yes, as you can see, we are not talking about an ordinary rosé.

Decant Nefos (s ’epanuit en carafe) Voi Vignes for about half an hour, put an imam bayildi next to it and enjoy it to the fullest.

Nefos (s ’epanuit en carafe) Voi Vignes has deep pinkish color and complex aromas of strawberry jam, sun-dried tomato, dried rose, olive leaves, marjoram, leather, tea, forest floor and dried cranberry.

In the mouth it has medium (+) body, medium (+) acidity and soft tannins. Ripe red fruits such as strawberry, cherry and cranberry are blended with earthy and botanical notes on a tomatoey background.
