Domain Skouras Peplo 2024 - PGI Peloponnese Rosé Wine 750ml | Agiorgitiko, Syrah, Mavrofilero Blend from High-Altitude Vineyards

A refined dry rosé from Domain Skouras blending Agiorgitiko, Syrah, and Mavrofilero from vineyards above 600m altitude in the Peloponnese.
SKU: EL2071

Domain Skouras crafts Peplo 2024 as a distinctive Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) Peloponnese rosé wine, blending equal parts Agiorgitiko, Syrah, and Mavrofilero from high-altitude vineyards across Nemea, Argolida, and Mantinia. Each variety undergoes a unique maturation process: Syrah rests on fine lees in stainless steel, Agiorgitiko matures in acacia barrels, and Mavrofilero ferments with extended skin contact for four months in egg-shaped amphoras. The wine takes its name from the fabric used to contain Mavrofilero skins during extraction, a technique that allows precise control and clean separation of the young wine from the skins.

  • Syrah from 23-year-old vines in rocky Argolida terrain at 600m altitude
  • Mavrofilero from 30-year-old vines in sandy Mantinia soils at 650m elevation
  • Unique maturation: acacia barrels for Agiorgitiko, stainless steel for Syrah, amphoras with skin contact for Mavrofilero
  • Pale coral with red-gold hues, aromas of strawberry, violet, rose petals, lemon citrus, and subtle minerality
