Jeunes Vignes de Xinomavro 2021

Read about this bottle on Noble Rot and it is indeed great despite its reasonable price.

Think of a more delicate, drier, and a bit raspberry-floral Nebbiolo.

Hedgehog Vineyard Xinomavro 2010

On the nose, this is all red current... Raspberry takes over for me on the palate... Tart but not overly acidic. Graphite. Light vegetal. Tannins are smoothe... Red plum skins. Very powdery pepper. The finish is just medium and there the raspberry turns more candied or artificial. We paired with serious BBQ fare... Brisket and smoked chicken legs... I think the raspberry notes here really worked with the BBQ as we didn't include any rich molasses-y BBQ sauces. The Greek origin of the wine had me include quite a bit of oregano in the rub for the chicken which also seemed to elevate with the wine. — 3 months ago

Akakies Sparkling Amyndeon Xinomavro Rosé 2022

Had the 2022 in July of 2024. Pomegranate, blueberry and strawberry in this one. Super bubbly- kept a head for a lot longer than most sparkling wines. Really interesting. Paired well with lemon chicken, tzatziki and an arugula salad. Would absolutely drink again. — 3 months ago

Drinking well. Tannins still prominent but well integrated. Deep black fruit, though not so prominent. — 23 days ago
