Nefos is a captivating rosé crafted from three native Greek grapes—Xinomavro, Stavroto, and Krasato—grown high in the slate soils of Mount Olympus’s foothills. The 2022 vintage faced five months without rain and scorching temperatures above 40°C for over forty days, creating a distinctive depth and vibrant character. Handpicked grapes were fermented with native yeasts in whole bunches, then rested for eight months in old barriques. Unfiltered and naturally produced, this wine reveals the purest expression of its terroir. Interestingly, the previous 2021 harvest was delayed by heavy rains, resulting in higher sugar levels and a sweeter style. By contrast, the 2022 edition offers an elegant dryness, balanced by fresh acidity and subtle hints of ripe red fruit. Delight in its lightly savory edge and delicate tannins—a wonderful choice for those seeking a rosé that stands apart.

Les Agulles by Gemma Miró is a unique red wine crafted entirely from organic Grenache grapes, harvested from a single tiny vineyard named "Les Pinyanes" in the Priorat region of Catalonia. This vineyard is particularly special due to its combination of three distinct soils—sauló, clay, and the region's iconic slate ("llicorella")—which enriches the wine's character. The name "Les Agulles," meaning "the needles," lovingly honors Gemma’s grandmother, Mariona, who was a seamstress in the village, always carrying her sewing needles alongside her work in the fields. This heartfelt tribute connects sewing needles with the pine needles surrounding the vineyard, evoking warm family memories. Made with minimal intervention, Les Agulles undergoes whole-cluster fermentation in stainless steel tanks and an old barrel, followed by seven months of gentle aging. The result is a delicate and fresh wine, highlighting elegant notes of red fruits and Mediterranean herbs. Unfiltered and natural, it's a sincere expression of Priorat’s Grenache, crafted thoughtfully to reflect a touching family legacy.
