QUICK REVIEW

Domaine Spiropoulos, Meliasto, 2009

++ // Smooth // Floral // Honey/Hibiscus/Oak // Medium


This was a real find, recommended to us by our local wine shop Fermented Grapes. I forget that Greece has a history of wine production--another knowledge base stolen by the Romans. Even more surprising is that this is a dry Rose'--not fruity nor syrupy. While this wine had a sweet bouquet and sweet flavor notes, there was no hint of the high residual sugar found in many rose' wines. The strong flavors and good body in this hearty wine make it more than capable of standing up to the burgers grilled in summer. Made of 60% Moschofilero grape.
