XINOMAVRO
Xinomavro is probably the most amazing red Greek grape variety. Many believe it is the top variety that Greece has to offer to the world and one of the best European varieties due to its exceptional taste, unique aromas, high tannins and exceptional body. It is often associated with Nebbiolo, a fascinating Italian grape that produces high quality wines, the famous Barolo wines originating from the area of Piedmont, Italy.

This classic Naousa from Markovitis Winery, also known in the past as Chateau Pegasus, is really exceptional and one of the best you can find today. It comes from the very special vintage of 2017, which was one more great year for the production of Xinomavro in the area. Markos Markovitis, grandson of the founder, is a viticultrurist and oenologist with studies in Germany and a very forward thinking view of the future of Greek wine making. He also believes that all necessary interventions should only made in the vineyard in order to bring forth the main characteristics of the terroir. His production comes from a single vineyard which lies just in front of the winery and is cultivated biologically for years and years exclusively with Xinomavro. The use of oak barrels for 12 months during maturation leads to a more sophisticated and balanced final product, without covering the precious tannins on one side but without allowing the dynamic aspects of Xinomavro to stand out more than necessary. As is usually the case with this very promising variety, it offers a great aging potential which can vary from 5 to 10 years, so it will be up to you to decide if you will keep it in your cellar or enjoy it here and now.

It’s hard to describe the virtues of this perfect wine which is a combination of two equally famous protagonists of the Greek vineyard. Xinomavro brings in its dynamic character while Malagouzia offers its balanced aromatic persona that gives a new very attractive definition to the blend. As its name suggests this is an impressive wine both for its overwhelming aromas and its exquisite taste. Evodeas by Kelesidis comes from one of the oldest domaines in Naousa, with vineyards cultivated according to the principles of organic farming. The color is light lemon and the nose explosive, with aromas ranging from citrus fruit to peach, melon, and pear. On the palate, medium-volume body with an interesting oily texture refreshing acidity with a satisfying aftertaste of thyme which lasts longer then you would expect.
