Thymiopoulos Young Vines Xinomavro (2023)
750mL / Macedonia / Greece
The Thymiopoulos 2023 Young Vines Xinomavro from Macedonia delivers a lively Greek red wine experience with bright red fruit notes, subtle herbal undertones, and a structured tannic backbone with vibrant acidity and earthy complexity.
This Xinomavro displays a vivid ruby colour with a slight garnet edge, reflecting its youthful vigour from the young vines in Macedonia's Naoussa region. On the nose, aromas of fresh cherries and raspberries mingle with hints of wild thyme and a touch of violet, evoking the sun-drenched Greek vineyards and offering an inviting introduction to this indigenous variety's aromatic profile.
On the palate, the Thymiopoulos 2023 bursts with juicy red berry flavours, balanced by crisp acidity that keeps the wine refreshing and food-friendly. Firm yet fine tannins provide structure without overwhelming, while subtle notes of spice and wet earth add depth, showcasing the grape's resemblance to lighter styles of Italian Nebbiolo but with a distinctly Mediterranean twist.
Pairing beautifully with grilled meats, tomato-based pasta dishes, or hearty vegetable stews complimenting its bright fruit and herbal elements to shine.
