Skaros comes from 100% Mandilaria — old vines up to 150 years old, planted nearly 500 metres up in Paros' mountainous interior. Gently pressed for colour, wild-fermented, and left on its lees for a generous seven months, it's a rosé built with the seriousness of a red: dark, deep-hued, almost brooding, closer in spirit to the structured rosés of Bandol than anything typically Cycladic. Wild strawberry, red cherry, rose petal, and pomegranate meet a herbal, savoury backbone, with a textured, creamy palate, firm tannins, and real agεing potential. Proof that rosé can be every bit as serious, and delicious, as its red and white counterparts.
