The wine region of Chalkidiki
PGI of Central Macedonia (Greece) on the three-fingered peninsula south-east of Thessaloniki, Mediterranean climate tempered by sea breezes, limestone and schistose soils. Xinomavro is the flagship red of Macedonia: structured and taut with notes of black cherry, dried tomato, olive, herbs, undergrowth and a spicy touch, firm tannins and vivid acidity — compared to Nebbiolo. Fruity Limnio and Cabernet as complements. Saline Assyrtiko in whites.
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: Assemblage (Champagne)
In Champagne, it is the art of blending still wines from different grape varieties (pinot meunier, pinot noir, chardonnay), from different terroirs (villages, areas) and often from different years. The incorporation of older wines, called reserve wines, allows for greater aromatic complexity.
