Rosé de Noir & Blancs** natural sparkling wine is crafted from Plyto and Mandilari, two indigenous grape varieties sourced from a single vineyard on the east side of Heraklion, in Zone 17, at an altitude of approximately 400m above sea level. The winemaking process involves a two-phase harvest. The grapes are stored in a refrigerated environment to align with fermentation timing. During pressing, the Mandilari grapes are placed on top and the Plyto grapes on the bottom to achieve the ideal color density. . Once bottled, the remuage (riddling) process is carried out for the first three months while the lees remain soft. Initially, the bottles are stored horizontally before being turned upside down, where they remain for an additional three months.
