DESCRIPTION
As a result of the devotion and support of indigenous varieties of Santorini, Mr Gavalas vinified this rosé PGI wine «Voudomato», which took its name from the red grape variety. The grapes are harvested in early to mid-August, followed by short-time extraction and then vinified in stainless steel tanks under controlled conditions. Wine «Voudomato» is characterized by fruity character, with aromas of fresh cherry and pomegranate. Soft in the mouth, metallic taste and refreshing acidity with delicate pleasant tannins that integrate the rich body and structure of the wine. Accompanies a big variety of food (seafood, fish, pasta, white meat and meat with tomato sauce). Best served at 8-12oC.

Producer
Gavalas
Continuing a long tradition of winemakers, spanning over three centuries, the Gavalas family has been exclusively engaged with the vinification of a number of indigenous varieties grown on the island of Santorini.
They have been working particularly on the unknown varieties of Santorini, beyond Assyrtiko and they are the Santorinian winery with most wine labels produced by indigenous varieties, including the almost extinct Katsano variety, from which they produce a unique and notable white wine, capable of ageing slowly and gracefully. The combination of traditional and modern winemaking methods and the unique volcanic soil and open sea climate of the island assist them in producing fine and balanced wines of vibrant fruity character, refreshing acidity and unique minerality. Their Santorini Natural Ferment and Nykteri labels are very good expressions of the local star Assyrtiko variety, whereas their benchmark Santorini, in the iconic Aegean blue bottle, keeps on gaining fans.
