Outstanding quality and simply the closest thing to cru Barolo you will find at this price.

No 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.

Perhaps a slightly modern style of Xinomavro, but this is indisputably tasty and retains its characteristic rustic charm. Definitely needs a swirl in the decanter. Yum.

Big 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.

Rose 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.

Solid Xinomavro, rose petals, crushed red berries, bright acidity with some tobacco spice, smoke, intensely firm tannin structure and well integrated oak. Another amazing value, I'm a beleiver! #xinomavro #greekwine #naoussa
