Discover the grape variety: Xinomavro
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 Amyndeon
PDO in north-west Greek Macedonia (the most northerly and cool plateau at 570–770 m surrounded by four climate-regulating lakes, draining alluvial sandy soils): Xinomavro is the exclusive indigenous signature red (100%) — a brighter, fresher profile than Naoussa with red berries, high acidity and deep colour. Distinctive sparkling wines unique in Greece alongside structured still versions. Rainy winters, dry summers, rapid drainage, excellence in northern Xinomavro.
The wine region of Macedonia
Large wine region of northern Greece, 1st by volume, altitude vineyards tempered by mountain massifs. Signature Xinomavro ("acid black") as king grape: structured, complex reds with signature notes of tart cherry, dried tomato, black olive, Mediterranean herbs, leather and a mineral touch, firm tannins and long ageing — compared to Nebbiolo. Stars in PDO Naoussa, Amyndeon, Goumenissa and Rapsani. Also lively, mineral Assyrtiko, aromatic Malagousia as whites.
The word of the wine: Smooth
Said of a wine that has a mouthfeel reminiscent of the creamy texture of fats.
