Akissare
Akissare (rock rose) is an aromatic, bee-feeding plant, which thrives on the land of Ikaria and has many medicinal properties. Its leaves are rich in propolis and polyphenols that boast antioxidant qualities.
This is a minimal intervention wine under the name of Akissare and is the result of co-vinification of the local grape varieties of Fokiano, Koundouro (Mantilaria) and Begleri. Vinification takes place with the aid of indigenous yeasts that reflect the unique terroir of the island and offer a balanced flavor, aroma of fresh red fruits, as well as a unique pink colour, just like that of the akissare flower.
