Description
Apostolos Thymiopoulos has nailed it again with his 2022 Young Vines Xinomavro—a loveable and endlessly drinkable red that shows off everything we love about northern Greece’s hero grape. Sourced from biodynamically farmed young vines in the cool, mountainous vineyards of Naoussa, this wine is all about freshness, energy, and pure fruit expression.
This Xinomavro spends 8 months in concrete tanks to keep things clean and focused, not an oak barrel in sight. On the nose, it’s bursting with fresh strawberries, cherries, and a dash of wild herbs, with just a hint of spice for good measure. The palate is juicy and medium-bodied, with bright red and black fruits, a touch of savoury grip from gravelly tannins, and a zippy, refreshing finish that leaves you reaching for another glass.
Whether you’re new to Xinomavro or already a fan, this is a wine that’s easy to love. Serve it slightly chilled and enjoy it now, or let it develop in the cellar for a few years—either way, it’s a taste of Greece you don’t want to miss.
