Ekho Rosé 2024

Wine description

Ekho Rosé 2024 is a Mediterranean rosé wine with strong identity and stylistic precision, interpreting the Aegean character of the Ekho range in a more defined and sharper way. Compared to the previous vintage, it shows a tighter, more vertical profile and a more immediate and crystalline aromatic expression.

The wine maintains structure and depth, but introduces greater freshness and definition, with a more centered balance between substance and acidity. The palate is dynamic, with a more linear progression and a cleaner, more saline finish.

Wine history

Ekho Rosé 2024 comes from the Ekho project, dedicated to the valorisation of the Greek indigenous grape varieties Fokiano and Bastardiko and the most authentic expressions of the Aegean territory. The aim remains to translate local identity into contemporary and readable wines while maintaining strong territorial coherence.

The 2024 vintage represents an evolution in stylistic precision, with a focus on greater aromatic definition and expressive clarity compared to previous vintages.

Vineyard

The Fokiano and Bastardiko grapes come from sunny, windy vineyards with poor, well-drained soils that enhance natural concentration and aromatic freshness. Climatic conditions continue to play a key role in balancing ripeness and acidity.

Vineyard management remains respectful and minimal, with reduced intervention and constant attention to vegetative health, ensuring clean and consistent fruit expression.

Winery

Vinification of Ekho Rosé 2024 is carried out with spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts, following the natural philosophy of the range. Extraction is slightly more controlled compared to previous vintages, with greater focus on aromatic finesse.

The wine ages for 6–12 months in wood, used in a discreet way to support structure without weighing down the profile, which remains more essential and freshness-driven than 2022.

Tasting notes

Bright cherry pink color, more transparent and luminous than previous vintages.
On the nose wild strawberry, crisp cherry, red citrus and light floral notes with a delicate spicy touch.
On the palate it is tense, agile and more vertical, with bright acidity, fine texture and a long, clean and saline finish.

Food pairings

Ekho Rosé 2024 is a gastronomic yet more agile and precise wine, ideal for contemporary Mediterranean cuisine. It pairs perfectly with fish, white meats, grilled dishes, fusion cuisine and lightly spiced preparations.

Its greater freshness makes it particularly versatile even with more delicate dishes requiring precision rather than structure.

Ekho Wines: the authentic echo of ancestral vineyards of the Aegean Sea

The history of Ekho Wines

Ekho Wines was born as a visionary project aimed at giving voice back to ancient and forgotten Greek vineyards, transforming agricultural memory into a contemporary wine expression. Founded in 2020 by winemaker Lefteris Anagnostou, the project takes shape across the Aegean islands, particularly Lemnos and Naxos, territories rich in millennia-old winemaking traditions. The core idea is both simple and powerful: to recover historic vineyard plots and restore dignity to indigenous grape varieties at risk of disappearing.

From the very beginning, Ekho Wines stands out for its clear and consistent vision, connecting small local growers with a modern and international narrative of Greek wine. The name “Ekho”, meaning echo, perfectly reflects the mission: to amplify and carry forward the authentic voice of the land. Each wine becomes a living testimony, a liquid story rooted in tradition while looking ahead.

The winery is not driven by global market trends, but by the desire to enhance identity and uniqueness. Production is limited and deeply linked to each vintage, without standardization. This approach makes Ekho Wines a reference for those seeking authenticity and expressive depth.

Ekho Wines is not just a producer, but a guardian of Mediterranean agricultural memory, capable of transforming the past into a contemporary resource of exceptional value.

Vineyard philosophy: heroic viticulture and indigenous varieties

The vineyard philosophy of Ekho Wines is based on heroic, artisanal, and deeply territorial viticulture, where every action is guided by respect for nature. The grapes come exclusively from indigenous Greek varieties, often rare, cultivated on small plots across the Aegean islands.

Many of these vineyards are old, often over 50 years, and trained using traditional methods such as bush vines, perfectly adapted to extreme climatic conditions. In several cases, these are ungrafted vines, offering greater authenticity and aromatic depth.

The soils, often volcanic or sandy, combined with constant sea winds, create unique growing conditions. Yields are naturally low, but the quality and concentration of the grapes are outstanding.

The goal is not to alter nature, but to accompany it, allowing each vineyard to express its own identity freely. This balance between human and environment is the true strength of the Ekho project.

The vineyard becomes a place of memory and expression, where each vine tells a story of resilience and adaptation.

Winemaking approach: minimal intervention, maximum expression

In the cellar, Ekho Wines follows a philosophy consistent with its vineyard practices: minimal intervention and maximum respect for the raw material. Fermentations occur spontaneously, thanks to indigenous yeasts naturally present on the grape skins, avoiding any form of aromatic standardization.

This approach allows for authentic wines, where each vintage expresses itself in a unique and unrepeatable way. Vinification is handled with great care, using different vessels such as stainless steel, used wood, or alternative materials depending on the grape variety and desired style.

Aging is always carefully managed to preserve freshness, tension, and territorial identity, avoiding excessive extraction or invasive techniques. These are not constructed wines, but wines that tell a true story.

The cellar becomes a place of sensitive interpretation, where every decision aims to respect the natural balance of the grapes. This results in limited, detail-oriented, and highly distinctive productions.

The outcome is a range of wines that are vibrant, dynamic, and deeply connected to their origin.

Identity and style: the authentic expression of the Mediterranean

The style of Ekho Wines is immediately recognizable for its energy, salinity, and aromatic precision, perfectly reflecting the Aegean terroir. The wines show a strong mineral imprint, combined with notes of Mediterranean herbs, ripe fruit, and saline hints reminiscent of the sea.

Limited production and the focus on lesser-known indigenous varieties contribute to a distinctive identity, far from international standardization. Each bottle is a pure expression of its origin.

These wines are also highly versatile at the table, thanks to their balance and freshness.

Ekho Wines represents a new vision of Greek wine, capable of combining tradition and modernity in an authentic way.

In an increasingly standardized market, this winery stands out as a unique voice: intense, territorial, and deeply Mediterranean.
