Tasting Notes
Aroma
Vibrant fruit-forward nose where aromas of cherries, sour cherries and plums prevail.
Maturation
After the first 6 months in the barrels, “rack and return” begins for each parcel. Upon completion of the maturation time, the final blend is made selecting the best of the micro-vinifications.
Appearance
Ruby red colour.
Palate
The mouth is intense combining ripe fruit with notes of spices and chocolate. Beautiful balance between acidity, structured tannins and alcohol. Concentration. Persistent finish. A great vintage.
Vinification
A very complex process where every parcel is vinificated separately. The grapes from each block are rigorously selected on conveyor belt . Cold pre-fermentation maceration for 5 days at low temperatures (8-10°C). Fermentation takes place in a combination of French oak vats (5 tons) and stainless-steel tank (5 tons) with the use of pigeage for 12-15 days and pump-overs, at 17-23°C. That temperature is maintained during post-fermentation maceration (2-6 days). Malolactic fermentation. Maturation for 14 months in French oak (225 and 500 lt) of 1st, 2nd and 3rd use.
Vintage Notes
Following a relatively warm December, the rest of the winter was typical to the region. The cooler than usual March contributed to long bud break, while April and May were warm and dry, still with notable diurnal temperature variation. Summer went on with xerothermic conditions and several long heatwaves. September was very typical autumn weather with favorable diurnal temperature variation that helped the full ripening of the grapes. Minor rainfall events were recorded in October without any adverse effects. Overall, a year that benefited Xinomavro.
Harvest: The grapes from the first selected block were handpicked on 21 September 2021.
Food Matching
Rare aromatic complexity with intense tannin structure and robust acidity. An excellent pair for red meat and game.
