This is a rose blend from the white Roditis grape and the red Agiorgitiko. From this combination we get a dry rose, slightly spicy, with a hint of berries and a stronger taste of citrus (think grapefruit peel) and a refreshing, lightly dry aftertaste.
A decent wine that can hold up against lighter foods but probably more refreshing served with a strong chill and on its own. It's certainly not a complex wine and doesn't match up against better Greek roses. Hopefully, you can try it for less than $9 (I paid ten at a place that usually charges a 10% premium, at least). While not highly recommended, you can use this as a fun fall-back rose for not too high a price.
For a pairing hint, I loved it with pistachio-flavor Turkish delights (loukoumia).
