Akakies 2012

When Akakies was introduced to the USA, it was one of the first Greek wines that made its way to the lists of non-Greek restaurants. You see, at that time, it was not just a food-friendly dry rosé, but a new concept for the Americans, who until then were used to drinking sweet ‘blush’ wines. For my family and me, though, with our long tradition in making rosé wines from Amyndeon, Akakies was simply the expression of our love for this land. An elegant yet powerful wine, expressing the character and the tradition of the area, a benchmark for the wines from Amyndeon.
