Thymiopoulos Xinomavro - Case of 6

So glad that M&S are stocking Greek Wine. I am not a huge red wine fan but this really suits my palate having bought the white to try (which is also very nice). Don't wait to just have it with food, I enjoy it on its own too. The taste of blackberries really comes through.

This is an intense, rich in tannins and high in acidity boutique wine coming from a local grape variety grown in Northern Greece. The producer is relatively young but highly regarded for his wines: at the price sold this wine is actually a bargain. It goes well with red meat, and cheese/charcuterie boards-I also like it with pizza. Enjoy!

This Greek bio-dynamic pale red had lovely aromas of leather and Bramble. It tasted of black fruit with winter spices and an interesting hint of black treacle on the sound finish. With solid acidity and tannins this is a good food wine; hard goat’s cheese or slow roast red meats will do this wine justice

The xinomavro grape is one of Greece's best and this is a fine example. Rich, supple, smooth with very little tannin, it goes well with food like roast lamb and is something you could drink on its own. The makers are hitting the headlines and you can see why. An absolute bargain, especially at the offer price.
