Oenops Apla Rosé 2024
Founded by the highly talented winemaker Nikos Karatzas, the Oenops winery is dedicated to showing the world the potential of modern Greek wine. Rather than relying on international varieties, Nikos works exclusively with ancient, indigenous grapes sourced from exceptional cool-climate vineyards across Northern Greece. The Oenops Apla Rosé captures the warmth of the Mediterranean while remaining incredibly crisp, elegant, and perfectly suited for relaxed summer hosting. In the glass, this pale pink Greek rosé wine is a joy to drink. It bursts with bright, uplifting aromas of wild strawberry, fresh tangerine, and a subtle hint of savoury herbs and tomato leaf. It is crafted from a unique blend of three native grapes - Xinomavro, Limniona, and Mavroudi - which provide a distinct personality and depth. It is perfectly balanced, deeply fruity, and finishes with a mouth-watering crispness that makes it the ultimate companion for a sunny afternoon in the garden. The quality of this award-winning rosé has been recognised by the independent retail trade, recently taking home the Best Value Rosé Trophy at the Wine Merchant Top 100 awards. Whether you are pouring it well-chilled on its own, or serving it alongside a classic Greek salad, grilled halloumi, or a Mediterranean barbecue, it delivers a masterclass in effortlessly enjoyable summer drinking.
