Pink Fox 2024

Winemaker’s Notes

Pink Fox is an enticingly aromatic blend, brimming with fresh summer notes of peach, strawberry, and delicate floral hints. Sourced from semi-mountainous, organic vineyards, this wine is crafted predominantly from Moscato grapes — the island’s third most popular variety.
Balanced with high-acidity varietals like Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, it offers a refreshing contrast to Moscato’s natural sweetness.
Together, they create a unique flavor profile that beautifully captures the essence of its Mediterranean origins.

Vineyard
The Pink Fox vineyards are nestled in several locations beneath Prophet Ilias Mountain. The chalky, limestone-rich soils contribute to the wine’s bright acidity, earthy character, and distinctive minerality.
This unique blend is crafted from two self-rooted old vineyards of Moscato, which make up 60% of the composition. The remaining 40% comes from a carefully selected mix: one vineyard of Chardonnay, two vineyards of Sauvignon Blanc, and a small parcel of Malagouzia. The latter are harvested early to enhance the wine’s acidity and complexity, resulting in a well-balanced and expressive final blend.

Production protocol of Pink Fox organic
After the harvest, the grapes are carefully placed in 20 kg baskets and stored in a refrigerated environment to lower their temperature, preserving their delicate aromatic compounds.
The following day, we destem the grapes and use dry ice to fully protect and extract their aromas from the skins. The juice is then kept at 5°C for two days, allowing natural clarification through gravity.
Once settled, we introduce wild yeast to initiate fermentation. After two days, we transition to the main yeast to ensure a controlled and complete fermentation process.
For this blend, we utilized two fermentation tanks: one inoculated with a thiolic yeast to enhance floral aromas, and the other with an EVC strain, which contributes a rich mouthfeel and vibrant fruit aromas.
Post-fermentation, the wine is aged on the lees for six months at 10°C, adding depth and texture.
Before bottling, we naturally stabilize tartaric acid at -2°C and use bentonite, a natural clay mineral, for protein stabilization.
Finally, the wine is filtered and bottled, preserving its purity and character.

Organoleptic profile of Pink Fox organic
Pink Fox glows with a delicate blush hue, kissed by sunlit orange highlights. Its aromatic bouquet bursts with wild roses, honeysuckle, and hints of ripe peaches and strawberries.
