Socmed has frankly made it rare for a wine to truly surprise me, but the 18’ Vrana Petra did just that. A completely unfamiliar label (and variety), it was a revelation. Strikingly mineral and brimming with energy. Aromas of red fruits, a touch of herbal smoke, black tea, dried florals, and a beautiful clementine note. It’s dense yet graceful; with plush textures, juicy acidity, and an underlying saltiness permeating the entire palate. Easily my top discovery this year. — a year ago


I don’t care. Some of the best wines are from Greece. Underrated. Thymiopoulos is my favourite winemaker and this xinomavro didn’t disappoint. Absolutely delightful of red fruits. Full body. High acidity. The more it was opening up the lengthier the taste was. Honestly hadn’t enjoyed a xinomavro like this in ages — 2 months ago
Paired well with lobster and beef. Medium body, good fruit. — 9 months ago

This was super complex. It grew on me as it breathed. 45% Assyrtiko, 35% Malagouzia, 15% Vidiano and 5% Aidani. Mangos. Hints of vanilla. Enjoyed at Koufadakis in Halkidiki. — 2 years ago
