ABOUT THIS WINE

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Just outside the village of Achinos in Fthiotida, the great romance of Grenache, Syrah, and Agiorgitiko was born. Idylle d' Achinos La Tour Melas, the rose wine of Kyros Melas that changed everything we knew about Greek rose wines, by following the standards of Provence, is the rose that is sold out first every year. The reason is not only its delicate color but mainly its incredible concentration, exemplary elegance, and balance.
Sacrificing the production he could have on the altar of quality, Kyros Melas and his team reach the old, over 60 years old, vines to the extremes, limiting their productivity to a minimum. Biodynamic, organic cultivation, and dense planting harden the plants, giving tremendous levels of concentration in their very few bunches.
