SPEC | Vintage 2019
▸ This premium Xinomavro has a complex bouquet that combines fresh red fruits and floral notes of rose. ▸ On the palate, it has a gentle, round, mouthfeel, soft tannins and a distinctive sense of oak character. Full body, robust acidity with a good tannic structure gives it a potential to age up to 15 years. ▸ Named "Ramnista," referring to the rolling hills of Kir-Yianni Estate in Naoussa, the 2019 vintage selects the best Xinomavro from specific blocks. ▸ The wine undergoes rigorous grape selection, cold soaking, fermentation with pigeage and pump-overs in French oak vats and stainless-steel tanks, malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels, and maturation for 16 months in a mix of new and used French oak barrels.
Food pairingsPairs well with roasts, prime ribs, lamb shank and meat dishes with robust flavours.
