Varietal: Xinomavro
The Xinomavro grapes which are grown throughout the arid hillsides of Macedonia, and elsewhere in Greece and other parts of the world, have been celebrated for millennia for their rich flavor and unique characteristics. The name 'Xinomavro' translates as 'acid black', and when drank young, the wines made from these grapes can be a little too abrasive and astringent. However, these blue-black skinned grapes produce wines of exceptional quality when aged and matured, as their strong tannins and high acidity mellows over time to reveal a deep and complex set of flavors and aromas. Most commonly, aged Xinomavro wines hold notes of red gooseberry, black olives, cinnamon, clove and dried tomato, making them an ideal accompaniment for many Mediterranean cuisines, and as such, their popularity has grown over recent decades in many countries around the world.
