SILKY, MATURE RED WINE BALANCING FRESH BLACKBERRIES, CRACKED BLACK PEPPER AND
CLOVE SPICE.
Dry red wine, 75cl. Full bodied 100% Xinomavro from Amyndeon in Macedonia,Greece
. 14.0% ABV.Suitable for Vegetarians.
Silver, Decanter World Wine Awards.This red wine is made from the delicious
indigenous Greek grape variety, Xinomavro (pronounced Ksee-NOH-mav-roe),
harvested from a single vineyard on the Amyndeon plateau in north-west
Macedonia, Greece. Here the grapes enjoy a slow-ripening season at 690m above
sea level with the vineyard facing Lake Petron and Mt. Voras. Cool air
circulates over sandy clay and limestone soils and the harvest is very
selective. The wine is left on lees for 8 months before a year's maturation in
Allier oak barrel and a final year in bottle. The result is a full bodied,
structured red wine backed by silky tannins and a long finish.
You'll like this if you like...Barolo or savoury Rhone-style red wines and
cosying up by the fireplace.
Pairs beautifully with:Venison steak, cheeseburger, juicy BBQ meats or a rich
steak chunk stew.
Cheese pairing:Somerset cheddar or cave-aged Gruyere.
