2025 Tetramythos ‘Nature’ Rose
Place: Aigialeia, Greece
Variety: Mavro Kalavrytino
Farming: Organic
Tetramythos is an organically farmed estate tucked into the mountainous slopes of Aigialeia in Greece's northern Peloponnese. Led by winemaker Panagiotis Papagiannopoulos, the winery champions indigenous Greek varieties, working with high-altitude vineyards and a gentle, minimal-intervention approach. The wines are full of personality, combining Mediterranean generosity with remarkable freshness and a distinctive sense of place.
Nature Rose is made from 100% Mavro Kalavrytino, a rare local variety grown on the limestone-rich slopes above the Gulf of Corinth. Wild strawberry, juicy cherry and red grapefruit are joined by rose petals, fresh herbs and a little citrus peel. There's lovely texture from extended time on lees, with bright acidity, gentle tannins and a subtle savoury edge. Dry, vibrant and beautifully expressive, sitting somewhere between a generous rosé and a delicate light red, with plenty of character and drinkability.
