Thymiopoulos Vineyards
Jeunes Vignes de Xinomavro
Naoussa, Macedonia, Greece
After 1,300 wines on Delectable I finally get to try my first wine from Greece! The Xinomavro grape reminds me of Nebbiolo and similar medium bodied wines. Low alc, high acidity. Very good and have high expectations for dinner pairing.

Mar 14th, 2021I find this wine so fun, exciting, and yet balanced. It has that natural funk and floralness to it, dried cranberries, and ripe strawberries. It has a bit of everything, without being muddy. I also love the colour for some reason. 18$ in Quebec and well worth it!

Really nice. Light like nebbiolo with pop of cranberry, raspberry, and tart strawberry. Great zip on the palate and long finish. H/T to @Guillermo Gonzalez for the recommendation.

Strawberry, raspberry, black cherry, cranberry, rhubarb, and pomegranate fruit; balsamic, rose, violet, black pepper, black tea, clay pot, and tar notes. Structured but very well-integrated tannins. Sort of Nebbiolo-like in both texture and flavor. Lovely!

Picked this up at the awesome D'Vines store here in Bloomington Indiana. Bought this on recommendation for "cheap, spicy, somewhere between Pinot Noir and Cab Sauv". The shopkeeper nailed it! First time trying this grape variety. Has a bit of that "Flintstones Vitamin" aftertaste but honestly not bad. Will certainly repurchase a bottle for a summer picnic someday.

What an outstanding Greek red! Lots of sweet dried fruit. Much lighter than other Xinomavro wines I’ve tasted.
