Orator
They called it Orator because this wine doesn’t keep quiet. A rosé that speaks with three voices — Agiorgitiko for body, Grenache for juiciness, Syrah for a whisper of spice. Grown high on the slate slopes facing Mount Athos, where sea air collides with mountain winds, the fruit keeps its nerve while building intensity.
This isn’t a poolside accessory. Orator was built to hold the table, to stand next to food and still demand attention. Its salmon hue might look delicate, but inside it’s layered, structured, and unapologetically bold for a rosé.
Akrathos didn’t set out to make something pretty. They set out to make something that speaks. And Orator does — in a voice that carries all the way from the mountain to the glass.
