MELISSINOS ROSE

PRODUCT OF ORGANIC FARMING

Melissinos rose was the first organic wine to be produced in Crete by Domaine Paterianakis. It is also our first wine since 1996.

Each variety is harvested and vivificated separately according to the Saignee method.

Melissinos rose is a best seller in our wine portfolio, because of its great quality and recognition through years.

A stylish juicy rose.
