Rosé

Scotsman Edward Maitland-Makgill Crichton makes this wine on the Greek island of Syros with old, ungrafted Fokiano. Copper golden there are delicate aromas of mellow fruit and saline sea spray. On the palate the maritime influence seems to give a saline, mineral character and almost austere, mouthwatering finish balanced by bruised apples, and peaches, sweet pears, wild strawberries, spice, honey and wild blossom. There is a vibrant pithy acidity with a gravelly texture, especially in the mid-palate. Lovely freshness, and almost a classic roséé except for that intense salinity which brings a fine manzanilla to mind.
