Manalis Rosé offers a fresh and lively expression that combines the aromatic freshness of Aidani with the structure of Mavrotragano. Its soft pink color and notes of citrus, flowers, and red fruits reveal the lighter, juicier side of the Cyclades. Balanced acidity and a pleasant after taste make it perfect for any moment — with food, fruit, or simply on its own.
