Sommeliers fight over a few of its bottles!

Why do we love it?

Nostos Roussanne Manousakis Winery is a Greek wine with a plot.

Roussanne, as a variety, is directly connected to the Rhone. It is the main white of the Southern Rhone, while in the northern part it participates in blends along with Marsanne. But what is it doing in Vatolakkos at Chania?

Here comes the story of the Manousakis family. Ted Manousakis returned from America to take on the vines and deal with wine production. And he left nothing to chance. Roussanne arrived in Crete in 1993 when an internationally renowned scientific team was recruited for the selection of best varieties to be cultivated on the slopes around Vatolakkos, Chania, based on soil and climate studies. Roussanne was one of the main choices and proved to be the favorite of the family. And ours too!

Its gentle nature results in unstable yields and very few bottles.

The 7 months in French oak barrels give Nostos Roussanne of the Manousakis Winery balanced secondary aromas that complement the already exuberant character of the variety. So exuberant that you do not even have to approach the glass to be impressed.

When famous sommeliers place it among their favorites and fight over the few bottles of Manousakis Winery's Nostos Roussanne, you understand that we are not talking about an ordinary wine.

Not ordinary at all!

Light lemon with golden reflections in the glass.

Impressive and intense nose with predominant floral aromas such as honeysuckle, jasmine, and orange blossoms. Behind the flowers appear peach, bergamot, orange juice, and caramelized lemon. The barrel offers extra complexity with butter, honey, vanilla, and tobacco.

In the mouth, it has a moderate (+) body volume, balanced acidity, and a strong oily feel. Rich aromas of dried flowers, peach marmalade, apricot, bitter orange, orange, and kumquat interchange on the palate. The beautifully blended barrel delivers notes of toast, toasted brioche, vanilla, and tobacco. The long-lasting honey-like aftertaste almost does not end ...

NOSTOS ROUSSANNE 2023 - MANOUSAKIS WINERY

PAIR IT

Pair it with a duck with orange, smoked ham in the oven, carbonara or turkey with chestnuts and pine.

Shrimps wrapped in prosciutto, with orange marmalade

  • 1/4 cup orange jam
  • 1/4 cup of white dry wine
  • 4 tsps. of fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsps. of finely chopped ginger
  • 1 large clove of chopped garlic
  • 2 fresh onions finely chopped
  • 20 shrimp jumbo or medium-sized peeled (you can leave the tail)
  • 10 slices of prosciutto cut into half lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • 10 wooden skewers dipped in water for 20 minutes
  • salt
  • pepper

In a medium bowl, mix the jam, white wine, lemon juice, ginger, garlic and onions. Add salt and pepper according to your taste.

Tosh the shrimps in the bowl and turn them to get fully covered with the mixture. Leave them for 20 minutes at room temperature. After 20 minutes, drain the shrimps from  the marinade.

Roll each shrimp with a slice of prosciutto. Put 2 shrimps in each skewer and carefully pierce prosciutto so that it doesn’t  get unfolded.

Preheat the grill to medium to high temperature. If we barbeque them, we are careful to roast them in a moderate fire. Dip the skewers in the marinade and bake until the prosciutto gets crispy and the shrimps opaque and slightly reddish, about 3 minutes on each side.

Secret:

Soak the wooden skewers in water (preferably hot) before putting them in the oven or the charcoal so that they won’t burn and tan while baking.
