2024 Kir-Yianni L’Esprit du Lac Rosé from Amyndeon in northern Greece is a refined expression of Xinomavro, offering both aromatic lift and subtle complexity. The wine opens with delicate aromas of white peach, apricot and strawberry, layered with floral notes and a touch of herbs, giving it a fresh yet slightly savoury profile.
On the palate, it is light, crisp and beautifully balanced, with flavours of red berries, citrus and orchard fruit, supported by fresh acidity and a gentle textural grip. The wine shows a balance between juiciness and precision, finishing clean and harmonious with a subtle mineral edge.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is exactly the kind of rosé we position as a "premium Provence alternative". It delivers the same pale, elegant and refreshing style, but with more structure and personality from Xinomavro. If a customer already drinks Provence rosé and wants to try something more interesting, this is a very easy upgrade. It pairs beautifully with seafood, grilled vegetables, Mediterranean dishes or charcuterie, and is a perfect warm-weather wine with a bit more depth than standard rosé.
