Opulent, heady whites, rich and silky, with intense aromas of apricot, yellow peach, mango, violet, honeysuckle and musky, honeyed notes. Discreet acidity, creamy finish. Star of Condrieu AOC and Château-Grillet AOC, co-vinified in Côte-Rôtie with Syrah (up to 20%). Widely exported to California (Central Coast), Australia (Eden Valley) and Languedoc. A Rhône variety.
IGP at the heart of Greek Central Macedonia (Thessaloniki), vineyards 50–800 m tempered by the Aegean. Xinomavro is the signature red king ('acid-black'): structured and taut with black cherry, sun-dried tomato, olive, herbs and spice, firm tannins, lively acidity — compared to Nebbiolo, a great ageing wine. Fruity Limnio and Syrah as reds. Floral Malagouzia, saline Assyrtiko, fresh Roditis as whites.
