Naoussia Xinomavro 2016

On the nose it reminds me almost of nebbiolo but a tiny bit more fruity. Blood orange, strawberry, a tiny bit of oak, this is very inviting. The palate is extremely well balanced, there is acid, yes, but there is width and fruit, there is a drying layer of tannins in midpalate (not unlike the ones you can find in noble piemont niebbiolo wines) along with a soft, expanding mouthfeel, and there is a long finish with that drying layer, those nice fruit notes that linger for a long while. This is really good! — 5 years ago

My first wine from Greece. Tannins are noticeable even at 5 years of age. Another Chicago wine shop recommendation and it’s not bad. Probably could use a little chill but hey after 5 hour drive home it was just an open and pour. — 6 years ago

Moroccan cuisine and Greek wine are a winning combo tonight in Montreal at dinner with my little sister. Anise, jasmine, rose, lavender, raspberry, smoke and dust together form a light bodied wine with tension and intense fragrance. Absolutely lovely and a steal too. — 8 years ago

Xinomavro is the taste of mediterranean places. In the older vintages, you can taste the scents of tipical selvatic herbs. Clean an very drinkable. — 12 years ago
