Mar 28th, 2019No question. This guy is THE rock star of the new wave of young genius Greek wine makers. For you Greek wine neophytes... Drinks like single vineyard Barbaresco at 1/4 the price. Xinomavro is the grape Naussa is the region. You'll want to remember that because both will be the focus of the next wave of luxury wines.

Sep 18th, 2016Big bodied, large tannins, raspberries, and ash like quality from the volcanic soil. Great wine for the price and amazing substitute if you don't want to spend the money on a Barolo or Barberesco.

May 10th, 2016Rose petals, crushed stones, berries. Perfume jumps out of the glass. Raspberry compote. Rustic, with nice balancing bitterness and tannic grip. Bracing acidity. Would we interesting to follow this over time.
