Thymiopoulos Xinomavro, Naoussa, Greece

Medium bodied, Aromatic

(Xinomavro)

(Alc.13%) 75cl

Appearance

Bright ruby red with youthful garnet highlights and a translucent rim, reminiscent of a fine Pinot Noir in the glass.

Aroma

Fresh and aromatic, with notes of red cherry, ripe strawberry, cranberry and pomegranate, complemented by hints of Mediterranean herbs, tobacco and black olive.

Palate

Elegant and vibrant, offering flavours of tart red plum, wild strawberry and red berry fruits. Silky in texture with bright acidity, gentle tannins and a savoury herbal character that adds complexity and authenticity.

Finish

Clean, refreshing and persistent, with lingering red fruit, subtle herbal notes and a mouthwatering freshness. Food Pairing

Excellent with grilled lamb, rare beef, roast chicken, charcuterie, tomato-based dishes, mushroom recipes and Mediterranean cuisine. Also pairs beautifully with coq au vin and rustic vegetable dishes.

Serving Recommendation

Serve at 14-16°C, slightly chilled, in a large Burgundy-style glass. No lengthy decanting is required, although opening the bottle 15-20 minutes beforehand will allow the wine's aromatic complexity to develop.
