Once upon a time, an Aquarius met a Gemini and they had an idea! You will have guessed that nothing serious could have resulted from this…
The amateur astrologer pronounced / The professional oenologist found a pairing:
Aries
One of the impulsive signs with fire as its element. It is ruled by Mars. Enthusiastic, combative, energetic, Aries is a torrent of strength, spontaneity, youthfulness, joy and impetuosity. Aries do not mature, they enjoy life, retains their youthfulness and loves competition. They live for intensity, for opposition, for the fight. They are the leader who leads the way, the first spark, the first gleam of light. They surprise you with their impetuosity, but an Aries will not hurt you (too much), they are very engaged with how they can gain the trophy of joy in the game of life. An Aries is a victor; they must be the victor!
Mountain Fish
It belongs to the category of fresh red wines. A playful Agiorgitiko with bright red colour and an intensely aromatic character with an emphasis on wild cherry and sour cherry. A red wine that does not care to mature, but seeks to impress with the first taste. It surprises with its aftertaste and is in a hurry to emerge victorious in the very first bottling of the new vintage.
A fresh Agiorgitiko will never betray you on a date with an Aries!
Taurus
The classic fixed earth sign. With Aphrodite as its ruler, it is an aesthetic sign, inclined to good times, comfort, food and pleasure. They love to be in their beautifully decorated house on their comfortable couch with many soft cushions, of course!!! They’re generally easy-going and sweet-natured, loving everything that is of good quality. They are reliable and stable, without much intensity and with a good deal of patience. They don’t love change or surprises and stay true to their routine, their opinions and their values. Taurus has a natural tendency towards laziness and ease, they never hurry, and procrastination or doing things very slowly and methodically, is in their nature.
Strofilia Red
An Agiorgitiko with Syrah, with a velvety mouthfeel and a gentle aromatic intensity that gives its aftertaste the sweetness of ripe red fruits. Agiorgitiko is a variety that you will soon come to love for its honesty and its gentle appearance, both inside and outside the bottle. If you have a little patience, you will be surprised with how it evolves in the bottle, as time gives it an aromatic maturity true of its potential.
Gemini
The classic mutable air sign. Before you say anything about these brilliant, bipolar, eternal adolescents, bear in mind that Gemini above all need AIR! and space. And air again! Gemini are associated with the legend of the Hesperides and (coincidence? I think not) love citrus fruits and the colour yellow. They are the bright omniscient sign of the zodiac, social, communicative and versatile. You will find them everywhere. Their flipside (being bipolar) is unstable and moody, but everything seems fresh and cool beside them as they never grow old, and you will definitely never get bored with a Gemini. Neither do they, they always have each other!
Malagouzia Estate
While it can be hard work within the vineyard, it compensates more than enough when bottled! Its exuberance and its multidimensional aromatic character need space and air to be fully expressed. Its vivid yellow highlights, along with aromas of fruit and citrus always make a great impression. You’ll never tire of a Malagouzia!
Cancer
As an impulsive water sign, Cancers are characterised by a constant flow of emotions. Astrologically, they are associated with the period between the embryonic stage and infancy. Cancers develop strong emotional bonds, especially with their family and especially their mother. Introverted by nature, they are reluctant to emerge from their shell, needing to be encouraged and reassured before they can take part in anything. They often think of the past, viewing it romantically and often idealistically. They also have an excellent memory. One of the most sensitive signs, they are easily hurt but also generous. Turn on your protective and maternal filters when you decide to spend time with a Cancer and they will reciprocate with the most beautiful emotions.
Classic 35
A wine with strong ties to the barrel and the bottle, as they are its family. Its stay in the bottle allows it to evolve and protects it over time, as it is an ageing wine. It needs time and space before emerging from its shell; be prepared to decant it before serving. If you keep it in your cellar, it will reciprocate with its aromas and rounded taste.
Leo
A fixed fire sign, Leo is associated with the myth of Hercules and the Lion of Nemea. Royal-born, Leos do not care whether you adore them or not. Exuberant and generous: they have a huge heart with room for all their courtiers. With the Sun as their ruler, they emit power, warmth and light. They love luxury, are creative and have an inner, spontaneous joy. Dramatic, intense and often impetuous, Leos do not adapt. They are an egocentric little sun that lures you into their orbit, into their vision, and always look out for the joy and prosperity of their subjects.
Nemea Agiorgitiko
An Agiorgitiko from a barrel that has its feet fixed firmly on the ground and knows where it stands. Nemea knows what it has to offer and has no insecurities. A dynamic, intense wine, with a fruity aromatic character. It is a leader in the field and knows it. It has the vision to become a great wine and to offer thrills and excitement. Nemea wants to be a part of your memories. If you keep it in the right conditions, it will surprise you with how it evolves.
Virgo
Selfless, helpful, simple and analytical, Virgos are one of the mutable earth signs. Perfectionists, measured, rigorous in their judgment, they are the hypochondriac, compulsive, fastidious sign of the zodiac we know and love, obsessed with perfection, cleanliness and simplicity. Naturally sensitive and generous, they like to please. They usually work in support of others and are the ideal team player. They are methodical and patient in everything they decide to do, which is why the result can be no less than perfect.
Strofilia White
Roditis and Sauvignon Blanc. Only the best for a Virgo. A judicious wine, with a strictly consistent quality over the years, it loves daily routine and looks forward to the family table. Roditis is the ideal team player and will never disappoint you, while Sauvignon Blanc will lead you to aromatic perfection.
Libra
Venusian and impulsive like the winds, they live in their own pink cloud where everything is harmonious, with aesthetics, lightness and, of course, together with someone else! Libras are the absolutely easiest-going type of zodiac sign. They can’t bear being alone, are flexible and adaptable and easily win most others over at first glance. Soft-spoken, cute, smart and youthful, Libra are very pleasant and sociable and suffer when there is tension. They are sweet, beautiful, charming and lazy, and all of these qualities together, artfully make up their irresistible charm.
Strofilia Rosé
The perfect star sign for rosé wine. Rose Strofilia is airy and easy-going. It prefers the company of a nice meal and will win you over every time you choose it. A wine with sweet aromas of red fruit that doesn’t like tensions, since a balance of aromas in the nose and mouth is what characterises it. Its bright pink colour and caramel butterscotch aftertaste will captivate you at first sip.
Scorpio
A fixed water sign, ruled by Pluto, Scorpio is the most contradictory of all the twelve signs. As a water sign, they have intense emotions; however, Scorpios trap these emotions in themselves, just as water solidifies in the form of ice. They have a tremendous inner strength that is constantly being reborn, but they are also masters in self-destruction. They are one of the most intuitive and sensitive signs, introverted, erotic and very mysterious. Incredibly vengeful and obsessive, Scorpios easily forget the good things you’ve given them for the slightest reason. They try to go by unnoticed, hiding their secrets well, not revealing aspects of themselves and not sharing their thoughts, but this all gives them an incredible magnetism and makes them very attractive.
Rare Earths, Galari
Galari is made to magnetise you, but only when you see it for what it is. A unique blend, the only blend in Greece with Agiorgitiko, Tannat and Petit Verdot, which conceals many secrets from the vineyard where it grew up, but also from its vinification. (Unfiltered wine with the shaping of the stem wall following the LYRE system). A wine with a powerful aroma and ageing dynamics, constantly regenerated in the bottle. But take care in the way you serve it. If you are not careful, the sediment can ruin your enjoyment.
Sagittarius
“Before Zeus’ door sit two jars he must give, one filled with suffering, the other with blessings” (Homer Iliad, Book 24).
Mutable fire sign with Zeus as their ruler, who generously shares joys and sufferings, Sagittarians can be characterised by a single word… Exuberance! Extroverted and optimistic, the impetuous, boastful, intelligent, nervous, outspoken, selfish, intelligent, amiable, talkative, frivolous and pleasant Sagittarius are very social and witty. They are usually with friends and almost always with a glass of wine in hand! They like philosophical and religious discussions, spiritual food, and gambling, to which they become easily addicted, but also earthly pleasures, which they enjoy to an extreme degree.
White Dot
What could better suit the Sagittarius but a Moschofilero with Malagouzia? An exuberant and extroverted wine with an intensely aromatic character from both varieties. White Dot can accompany all your social events, be the star of your table; everyone will love it without a doubt! After all, Moschofilero and Malagouzia are two addictive varieties that draw you in with their generous, full-bodied flavour. Now take a glass of wine in hand. You have time!
Capricorn
An impulsive earth sign, Capricorns are ruled by Old Man Saturn. Ambitious, hard-working, serious and systematic, the realist Capricorns live for social, professional and societal advancement. Capricorns’ magic word is prestige. They are the wise, experienced, technocrats who seek perfection with professionalism and patience, have tremendous discipline and work very hard. Capricorns will go through each stage of development with stability and will move on to the next only if they are satisfied with themselves. With logic in the foreground and emotion coming second, the Capricorn archetype symbolizes social achievement.
Savatiano
I’m going to take the initiative of suggesting a Savatiano for my beloved Capricorn. An industrious variety, as with structure and evolution through the years, it has gained social acclaim. It has never given up, and with discipline and hard work it has won the love of the world and convinced it of its potential. Its delicate citrus aromas with soft notes of white-fleshed fruits and herbs and its balanced, full-bodied taste have won the hearts of wine lovers.
Aquarius
_______________________________________________________________
If you cannot read the above there is a reason, for it is extra-terrestrial writing, but Aquarius already speaks two languages! The fixed child of the air and Uranus, they are the progressive, unconventional, fiery and unpredictable terrorist of the zodiac. Thousands of light-years ahead, reactive, nonconformist, lovers of technology, breakers of stereotypes, boundaries and traditional forms, they have a great talent for bringing people together, are excellent friends, are liked by most, and want to work for the common good. Rumour has it that they have no heart. 😉
Crazy Birds
I would dare to recommend Crazy Birds. As an Aquarius myself I am unfortunately not objective, but a rosé wine that speaks two languages, since it can be enjoyed on its own or with food, can perhaps communicate in the two languages of Aquarius. Rosé wines have never fit into traditional forms and have the talent of bringing together lovers of white wine as well as those who love red, offering a middle ground, what else? Rosé wine! Aquarius, progressive and unpredictable, would almost certainly go for a rosé wine! Cheers!
Pisces
Somewhere on another planet, Father Poseidon created these bewitching mutable creatures, and before sending them to be incarnated here on earth, he gave them Imagination and Art, so that they could always travel to their own realm, where they can be alone, where they don’t have to assimilate, understand or be understood. They live with their own image of reality, in a haze, and are often distracted. They find it difficult to separate lies from the truth, even when it comes to themselves. What for others is a lie, for Pisces is their own reality. Sensitive, dreamy, and emotional, Pisces will lose themselves in the Other. They are compassionate and supportive, have a great urge to escape, and need their imagination to withstand the pain, chaos and cruelty of everyday life.
Rare Earths, Vidia
Our Chardonnay was probably produced somewhere on another planet. A wine that travels, and wants you to enjoy it rather than understand it. A Chardonnay from the wine tank that can confuse you with its exuberant aromas. Its modern hue can take you away from the formality of Chardonnay, but it will make up for it after the first sip. For the record, it is a wine with a light golden-green colour. Explosive aromas of fresh ripe exotic fruits, but also lemon peel. Correspondingly aromatic and full-bodied in the mouth, compelling and lively thanks to the acidity and a pleasant mineral feeling. Has a lasting, aromatic aftertaste.
