Description

This red wine is made from the delicious indigenous Greek grape variety, Xinomavro (pronounced Ksee-NOH-mav-roe), harvested from a single vineyard on the Amyndeon plateau in north-west Macedonia, Greece. Here the grapes enjoy a slow-ripening season at 690m above sea level with the vineyard facing Lake Petron and Mt. Voras. Cool air circulates over sandy clay and limestone soils and the harvest is very selective. The wine is left on lees for 8 months before a year’s maturation in Allier oak barrel and a final year in bottle.
