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.
Pitchounet from Domaine Mouressipe is a natural red wine crafted by Alain Allier in the Languedoc region, France. Pitchounet is a 50/50 blend of Cinsault and Grenache. It’s light-bodied, juicy, with notes of red berries, a touch of pepper, and a freshness that makes it perfect for warm weather. Its vibrant ruby color and natural freshness make it a delightful alternative for those who prefer something livelier than rosé during warm weather. Perfect for casual drinking, Pitchounet is all about immediate pleasure and genuine fruitiness.

Estático is a dry white wine that shows a different side of Pedro Ximénez. Made mostly from this local grape, with a small share of other native varieties, it comes from old bush vines in the Sierra de Montilla, rooted in albariza soils known for holding moisture and giving wines a marked mineral feel. What makes this wine stand out is its ageing under flor for two years. This biological ageing brings depth, saltiness and a very distinctive sense of place. The fruit comes from the last days of harvest, adding a little more ripeness without losing freshness. In the glass, Estático offers notes of ripe white fruit, citrus, chalk, white flowers and aniseed, with a light iodine touch. The palate is fresh, long and very mineral, with a sapid, saline finish that stays with you.
