ēkhô Rose 2022

The name comes from:

echo : a natural phenomenon in which sound waves are reflected on solid obstacles and become perceptible by the human ear.

Echo: the mythological nymph who lost her voice and consequently her expression, is the allegorical projection of the acoustic phenomenon.

The choice of the name is directly related to the meaning of transfer and reflection that the word contains and is intended to connect with the past, since something that is heard now, through reflection, has been said in the past.

The wines are essentially the current expression/voice of a vineyard/character rooted in the past as they were planted 70 or even 200 years ago in some cases. They symbolize the reinstatement to the present as a snapshot of an uninterrupted and endless course.

The grapes come from a vineyard at a distance of 1 km from the sea and about 200 m of altitude at the north of Naxos. Field blend of the red variety Fokiano and a small participation of the unknown white variety Bastardiko. Self born vineyard of about 50 years old, of low productivity and formulated in small terraces.

White vinification with the criterion to highlight the special varietal characteristics by remaining on the lees for about 10 months. 30% is fermented and matured in Caucasian acacia casks.
