Sensory Description:

A visual and aromatic delight, this rosé pours a pale salmon hue and immediately captivates with a bouquet of Turkish delight, rose petals, juicy strawberries, tangerine, white cherry, orange blossom, and peach zest. On the palate, it offers a medium body with refreshing acidity and a gently oily texture that adds roundness. Flavors of lemon, cherry, raspberry, and peach harmonize with notes of candied flowers, biscuit, and a subtle doughy nuance, creating a vibrant yet elegant tasting experience.

Winemaker's Background:

Zacharias Vineyards is one of Nemea’s most historic and respected wineries. Though the modern winery was established in 2002, Elias Zacharias has been rooted in the region’s winemaking tradition since 1974. Deeply passionate about indigenous Greek varieties, the Zacharias team specializes in Agiorgitiko, Kydonitsa, Sklava, and Moschofilero—the latter of which plays a starring role in their acclaimed Lexis series. Driven by quality, local identity, and a dedication to elevating the wines of the Peloponnese, Zacharias Vineyards continues to blend history with innovation.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve well-chilled at 8°C in a tulip-shaped white wine glass to preserve its delicate aromas and lively texture. This rosé pairs beautifully with fragrant langoustines and pea purée, seafood risotto, sushi, light salads, and dishes inspired by Asian cuisine.

The 2023 Lexis G Gris Sur Lie Rosé from Zacharias Vineyards is a floral, textural, and flavor-packed expression of Moschofilero, delivering everything you’d want from a modern Greek rosé with an extra touch of sophistication.
