This dry red wine made from 100% Xinomavro is a blend of higher altitude parcels around the village of Fytia and the warmer, lower elevation parcels adjacent to the village of Trilofos. Vines are young and non-irrigated. Naoussa’s region warm continental climate with moderate rainfall throughout the year. Cooling winds from Vermio mountain are crucial for the quality of the grapes. Grapes are hand-picked, 75% destemmed, macerated for 12-15 days and fermented in stainless steel tanks for 3 months and aged for 8 months in concrete tanks.
Sommelier’s Recommendation This wine has an impressively vibrant nose, very floral, reminiscent of young nebbiolo but with some lovely bright red fruit in the mix; strawberries and cherries. It’s a super unique wine, with a delicious taste of lightly brewed black tea on the palate again with those red fruits. A good amount of tannin make this a great wine to enjoy with food.
