Tsantali Kanenas Rose

An Exotic Mediterranean Escape

Step off the beaten path of typical pink wines and journey to the sun-drenched coastal vineyards of Northern Greece with Tsantali Kanenas Rosé. Sourced from the historic Maronia vineyard in Thrace along the Aegean Sea, this striking dry rosé offers a brilliant, adventurous alternative to traditional French pinks. Combining ancient regional viticulture with modern precision, Kanenas delivers an incredibly characterful, deeply refreshing bottle that will capture the attention of any wine lover.

The soul of this wine lies in its unique 50/50 blend of the ancient, indigenous Greek grape Mavroudi—celebrated for its intense aromatics and deep structural heritage—and international Syrah. Fermented exclusively in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats with no oak contact, this dry rosé preserves its pure primary-fruit energy. A brief cold maceration (soaking the juice on red skins) gives the wine its vibrant, intense rosé color and captures a complex, layered depth that sets it far apart from the average summer sipper.

Taste Profile & Pairings

• The Profile: Intense pink-coral in the glass with a medium-bodied mouthfeel, a pleasant fruit-forward richness, and a beautifully balanced spine of crisp, tongue-tingling acidity.

• Flavor Highlights: A remarkably fragrant bouquet of fresh rose petals, wild strawberries, and confectionary notes opens on the nose, leading into an expressive palate of tart cranberries, ripe black cherries, and a distinct, savory kick of cracked black pepper.

• Perfect Food Pairings: Thanks to its peppery spice and subtle structural grip, this dry Greek rosé pairs beautifully with Mediterranean favorites. Enjoy it alongside grilled lamb chops, fresh Greek salad topped with salty feta, seared tuna steaks, wood-fired vegetable pizzas, or light charcuterie boards.

• Serving Suggestion: Serve well-chilled ($46\text{--}50^\circ\text{F}$ or $8\text{--}10^\circ\text{C}$) to perfectly highlight its vibrant red berry flavors and crisp, refreshing finish.
