Xinomavro

Characteristics

This wine is produced from Xinomavro, a charismatic but demanding Greek grape variety from Macedonia, which has adapted perfectly to the microclimate of Epanomi in Northern Greece.

After the crusher, the free run must is vinfied without maceration in stainless steel tanks at 18 °C. The wine then remains in contact with its primary lees for a few months, gaining in body and structure.

It has a pale pink-salmon colour and aromas of citrus fruits (pink grapefruit), berries, cherries and strawberries. It presents as rich and well-structured with good acidity and an aromatic finish (sour cherries-cherries).

Best enjoyed chilled at 10–12 °C.
