Product Notes

Gaia 4-6H Rosé Agiorgitiko wine is a delightful and refreshing rosé wine that showcases the unique characteristics of the Agiorgitiko grape variety. With a beautiful pale pink color, this wine exudes aromas of red berries, citrus fruits, and floral notes. On the palate, it is bright and lively with a crisp acidity and a hint of minerality. The name "4-6H" refers to the short skin contact time of just 4 to 6 hours, which gives the wine its delicate color and fresh fruit flavors. This wine is perfect for sipping on a hot summer day or pairing with light salads, seafood, or grilled chicken. Gaia 4-6H Rosé Agiorgitiko is a versatile and elegant wine that will leave a lasting impression on your palate.

Tasting Notes

An appealing and vivid rosé with an intense and aromatic profile which hovers between delicate floral notes of rose petals and fruity flavours of pomegranate and strawberry. Vibrant with lifted crisp acidity and a refreshing finish.

About the Winery

Gaia

The Greeks are known for traveling to various places and picking up knowledge from around the world. This rule applies to two agriculturalists, Yiannis Paraskevopoulos and Leon Karatsalos. Their love for wine took them to various wine-rich places of the world, where they learnt the tricks of the trade, before starting their own wine label, Gaia, in the year 1994. Since then, they have been doing all that they can to make the most of the two ultimate wine regions of Greece – Santorini and Nemea.

They started out with making white wines, but within a couple of years of inception, they expanded to creating red wines as well. These wines are produced from grapes grown in two vineyards – Nemea and Santorini.

Nemea – Located in the Nemea PDO (Protected Destination of Origin) Appellation of Greece. These vineyards contain vines that grow at different altitudes (250m to 850m above sea level). Officially recognised in the year 1971, this is the biggest vineyard in Greece right now. This vineyard is known for its limestone soils, warm summers and humid winters. The red varietal of Agiorgitiko is the main varietal grown here.

Santorini – This place is known for its unique ecosystem. The soil here is volcanic and porous in nature, because of the scorching summers and lack of rainfall all through the year. The Mediterranean climate of this place makes it ideal for growing one of the rarest and most indigenous white grape varietals of Greece, the Assyrtiko.

The winery in Nemea is located close to the Asopos River and gives a fantastic view of the Nemea valley. Currently, this winery can process 3060 hectalitres of wine, but it is equipped to handle more. The Santorini winery, on the other hand, is quite old as it used to be a tomato processing factory in the early 1900s.
