"ROSA" Retsina Pet Nat, Kechris
TASTING NOTES
Deep rosé colour with violet highlights. The aromas of fresh wild strawberries balance with the refreshing notes of resin which change between mastic and herbs and come together on the smoked background of the barrel. The typical acidity of the Xinomavro variety adds a freshness to the wine and balances with its aromatic intensity before it ends in a long spicy finish.
FOOD PAIRING

Drawing inspiration by tradition and referring to the most modern trends in the international wine scene, Afros is the first pet-nat retsina.
ENJOYMENT
Slightly hazy in appearance, due to the fact that the wine is bottled unfiltered, with discrete bubbles that rise quickly to the surface of the glass. Afros is an intensely aromatic wine, with clear notes of pine resin and extra complexity on the palate, carrying all the freshness of the fermenting retsina.
FOOD PAIRING
A perfect match to any sea food and small fried fish, cured fish, bottarga, but also to the intense flavors of dishes of the Asian cuisine. Enjoy it also on its own, in the beginning of the meal or in a refreshing cocktail.
