Xinomavro grape

Greece's greatest red grape, native to Naoussa in Macedonia. Often compared to Nebbiolo for its high acidity, firm tannins, and aromas of tomato, olive, and dried fruit. Ages beautifully.

A grape's character depends heavily on soil, climate, clones and winemaking. The notes below offer a general profile; an individual bottle remains the best way to discover a producer's house style.
