This rosé is produced from the Cretan kotsifali grape variety and the Grenache rouge grape, which conquered the island of Crete after the Rhone Valley. A medium pink color with hints of salmon, it surprises us with a nose accompanied by a playful palette of intense and elegant scents, with fresh and ripe red fruits, strawberry and cherry on the surface. His stay runs in oak barrels to support a hint of vanilla to the assembly. Its delicate body and its well-controlled acidity make this wine refreshing to the palate. A very pleasant wine, which gives more desires!

The passion for quality wine inherited by their ancestors inpired them to continue the wine making tradition of the family. Since 1890, they used to make wine in the small-sized winery of the family which was located in the plot of the house.
The house and the winery were constructed with stones and sand transported from the river, by animals. However, the winery is not in function any more. The family owns 70 acres of wine making varieties sparsely planted in several regions of the municipality of Paliani. During the last four years, they release their wines in bottles. Irini Daskalaki is the viticulturist and owner of the winery which is located in Siva village, in the municipality of Paliani, in the Prefecture of Heraklion. The cultivation of vines is subject to the biodynamic method. Moreover, the vines and the winery are certified by DIO Association (Inspection and Certification of organic products).
