A full, satisfying and delicious Greek red that is both classic and unique at the same time. Having spent circa 6 months in old wooden barrels and further time in the bottle. On the nose, an array of mature dark berries, prune compote and a touch of clove & spice all of which continuing seminally onto the pallet. The consistency is silky and round with a prolonged finish containing fully rounded tannins. We recommend serving just under room temperature, decanting welcomed. Excellent pairing with roast meals.

Negoska & Xinomavro
This rare Greek variety from the Northern part of the country produces rich, fruity and smooth red wines. Due to its low acidity and soft tannins, it also nicely complements bold and acidic Xinomavro grape.
Producer
Originally from Ano Vodeno of Eastern Romilia, an area steeped in viticulture, the refugee Tatsis grandfathers chose as their place of settlement during the population exchange of 1924 the small town of Goumenissa, an already developed viticultural centre that lies at the foot of Mountain Paiko, 65 km away from Thessaloniki. Since 1998 the vineyard is being cultivated and certified according to the regulations of organic farming and since 2002 follows the biodynamical principles. The vineyards are found on the hillock of Libaskerit and Gerakona, an ideal position for viticulture and the vines grow on calcareous, non-irrigated soil yielding a very modest production of about 3 to 7t/ha. All grapes come from the Estate, where also vinification and maturation take place.
