Structured, taut reds with a clear ruby robe that quickly evolves towards tawny, firm tannins and sharp high acidity (hence its name, xino-mavro = acid-black), with aromas of red cherry, sun-dried tomato, black olive, dried herbs, spice, leather and balsamic notes. Fine ageing potential, often compared to Nebbiolo. Absolute star of Naoussa PDO in Greek Macedonia, also Amyndeo PDO. Very late-ripening autochthonous Greek variety.

The wine region of Szeksz&aacuterd

Southern Hungarian region, land of velvety, spicy reds. Signature Szekszardi Bikaver (local "Bull's Blood"): a blend of dominant Kekfrankos (Blaufrankisch) and native Kadarka, with signature notes of ripe cherry, plum, paprika, hibiscus, tobacco and sweet spice, velvety tannins and southern roundness — softer and sunnier than Eger's. Also peppery Cabernet Franc and dense Cabernet Sauvignon. Mild Pannonian climate, loess soils over limestone.

The wine region of Dél-Pannónia

Southern Hungary (Pécs, Szekszárd, Villány, Tolna), ~7,800 ha on loess and limestone, continental climate with Mediterranean influences — bastion of great Hungarian reds. Kékfrankos and Kadarka signatures as native red kings: spiced and structured with black cherry, blackberry, plum, paprika, pepper and smoky hint, firm tannins. Ripe Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon in Bordeaux blends at Villány. Specialities Szekszárdi Bikavér and unique Cirfandli white at Pécs (spiced, honeyed).
