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 Rheinhessen

71% white region: Riesling is king (5,000 ha), dry to off-dry, ripe yellow fruit, apple, citrus and fine saline minerality. Supple, floral Müller-Thurgau for everyday, the world's largest Silvaner plantation with herbaceous, straight notes. Historic cradle of off-sweet Liebfraumilch. Some supple reds (Dornfelder, Spätburgunder).

The word of the wine: Vinification of sweet wines

Moelleux and liquoreux wines are characterized by the presence of residual sugars (natural sugar of the grape), not transformed into alcohol under the effect of yeasts. The fermentation is stopped by cold and by the addition of sulphur dioxide (sulphur).
