#xinomavro #moussa #greekwines #greekwine pale ruby, reminiscent of a Pinot Noir or a Barbera. Crunchy bright red fruit on the nose. Anis and spice, liquorice taste on the palate. Highly quaffable — 6 years ago
Domaine Kelesidi
Naoussa Xinomavro 2018
Such a delightful #naoussa #xinomavro at a charming Italian restaurant near the Acropolis. Red fruit, herbs, some forest floor notes on the nose, lovely acidity on the palate plus the fine grippy tannins worked well with richer creamy pasta dishes but delicious grilled aubergine slices as well. — 7 months ago

Just okay here. Developed. It has some complexity due to the barrel and bottle maturation and the tannins are smooth but the wine lacks fruit expression and intensity and feels slightly overripe and slightly dull. #greece #rapsani #xinomavro #krassato #stavroto — 4 years ago

Xinomavro Rose 2018
Vintage 2018 / First rosé from this producer. A playfull and frivolous wine. Fine smell with strawberries and a raspberry impression, very crisp an lively taste. Some spicyness. Interesting that the rosé is made grom #xinomavro grapes. / Paired it with Keftedes and zuchini tarts, gruyère cheese afterwards. — 7 years ago

The acidity is unbalanced on this wine, it seems too high because there isn’t enough rich ripe fruit to balance it. Also there are yoghurt and cheese curd notes from the malolactic fermentation that don’t match well with the other aromas and flavors. I feel disappointed because this wine has good ratings from Jancis and Robert Parker Magazine but it’s just acceptable. #xinomavro — 4 years ago

Niche varietal #rose can be so distinctively delicious. 100% #xinomavro ; beautiful copper / burnt orange color in the glass. Aromas feature strawberry, cherry, cooked cranberries trailing off with understated spicy notes. Less acidity up front on the palate, impressions of Cherry Coke without any sugar on the palate with just a tiny thread of tannins on the finish. #macedonia — a month ago
