"Evil Eye" (Mati) is a premium dry rosé wine produced by the renowned Greek winery, Nico Lazaridi. Crafting an identity closely tied to Northern Greece, the wine serves as a conceptual lucky charm balancing classic Greek tradition with high-end modern vinification.
Wine Overview & Profile
Grape Variety: 100% Xinomavro, a native Greek grape.
Appellation:PDO Amynteo (Amyndeo), a region in Northern Greece celebrated for producing exceptional, high-acid Xinomavro rosés.
Color: Pale salmon or bright pink with light rosy highlights.
Aromas & Tasting Notes: A complex bouquet featuring mandarin, melon, and tomato leaves, layered with distinct botanical, herbal, and floral notes. On the palate, it is fresh and lively, with a distinct fruit intensity.
Vinification Details: To contrast the naturally high acidity of Xinomavro, the wine undergoes battonage with the lees for 5 months in stainless steel tanks, which introduces a rich, pleasing oiliness and weight to the body.
Food Pairings & Serving
Because of its crisp acidity and textured profile, this rosé pairs beautifully with a broad range of dishes:
Appetizers and fresh seasonal salads
Traditional Greek olive oil-based dishes (ladera)
Lightly rich or oily foods that benefit from high-acid structural cutting
Enjoyed entirely on its own as a refreshing aperitif
