The holiday season is quickly approaching, bringing with it social calendars packed with festive gatherings, seasonal parties, and family get-togethers. For these special occasions, Aphrodise, the new bubbly rosé, makes an ideal choice to toast the season. This sparkling Greek rosé adds a touch of elegance and cheer with its bright cherry color and lively bubbles, perfect for elevating any celebration. With hints of ripe strawberry and cherry on the nose and a balanced sweetness, Aphrodise pairs beautifully with holiday meals and desserts alike. Whether it’s a Friendsgiving toast or a New Year’s Eve celebration, this rosé complements every festive moment.
The sparkling Greek rose has an intense mousse and a bright cherry color with pronounced ripe strawberry and cherry aromas. The low acidity of the wine adds balance and freshness with just a hint of sugar for sweetness.
The lively, refreshing bubbly experience of Aphrodise is guaranteed to liven up any holiday celebration, from Friendsgiving dinners and Christmas Eve gatherings to, of course, memorable New Year’s Eve countdowns and toasts with loved ones.
Aphrodise can be purchased online or at select retailers and can be consumed immediately or longer term in cellar storage. For loved ones who are wine connoisseurs, gifting them a new wine they have yet to try is also something they will appreciate!
For the holiday season, Rose is a great option, as it pairs well with turkey and other festival fare the price point is extremely approachable. It really is the gift that keeps on giving!
Brand founders Frank Schilling and Gabi Petrylaite, work closely with the winemakers and each cuvee of Aphrodise is curated by the cellarmaster using the Charmat method and a carefully selected blend of Xinomavro grapes, the noblest and best-regarded grapes of Greece. Aphrodise is the first bubbly version to be produced on a large scale with those grapes.
Mykonos Cayman, founded by Schilling in the Summer of 2023, is a chic restaurant located in the Cayman Islands. After having difficulty finding a quality beverage to serve at the dining establishment, Aphrodise became the answer.
Wine enthusiasts and people who normally don’t like rosé or champagne tend to enjoy Aphrodise.“It’s imminently drinkable,” says Schilling, “You can literally guzzle it and you feel great as you’re drinking, and you feel pretty darn good after.”
The brand promises a Celebration of Youth, Conviviality, and the Height of Carefree Luxury.
The Aphrodise Holiday Spritz is a deliciously festive cocktail to wow your guests. It pairs wonderfully with all types of cuisine, no matter what is on the menu this season.
