Tasting Notes
Aroma
The nose starts with floral aromas and continues with stone fruits
and strawberries, as well as delicate herbal notes in the background.
Appearance
Pale salmon pink colour.
Palate
Stone fruit aromas
roll into the mouthfeel as well, while the vibrant acidity offers crispness and balance.
Harmonious finish.
Vinification
Rigorous grape selection on conveyor belt and direct pressing. Fermentation in stainless
steel tanks at temperatures between 17–19 °C. The wine stays in contact with its fine lees
for 3 months with occasional mild stirring (bâtonnage).
Vintage Notes
On the warmest year ever recorded in the region, the consistent, systematic work in the
vineyard, the vigilance in monitoring weather data, and the informed decision on the best
time to harvest each variety were crucial components. We started harvesting Xinomavro for L’
Esprit Du Lac on 17 September 2024. As a late-ripening variety, it encountered rather milder
weather conditions contributing to grapes with high quality features (acidity and phenolics).
Region Notes
A rigorous selection of Xinomavro vines of at least 40 years of age, grown on small parcels
scattered around Agios Panteleimonas, within the PDO zone of Amyndeon in Northern
Greece. Continental-ish climate at the cooler wine region of Greece, located in a stunning
plateau at 600 meters above sea level, with poor sandy soils, neighboring lakes and
mountainous surroundings. An ideal location for Xinomavro to ripe and display its unique
backbone.
