17.5/20 POINTS, Jancis Robinson - "A really lovely, distinctive wine. Organic and vegan. 100% Xinomavro. 40-day fermentation with malolactic conversion. Empty bottle weight 650 g. Free SO2 26 mg/l, total SO2 102 mg/l, RS < 2 g/l. Dark, shaded garnet. Such integrity on the nose! Thrilling vibrancy and stoniness. Dry, nervy finish after fully – but not over – ripe fruit. Drink by 2030." (of vintage 2021)
ABOUT THYMIOPOULOUS WINERY
Apostolos Thymiopoulos is without a doubt the rising star of Naoussa. In the past decades he has worked with local growers and at the same time has forged out an expression of Xinomavro that shows this variety in a modern light. His understanding of natural winemaking is evident, yet the wines maintain a clean, fresh elegance and purity of fruit, that’s delicious! His vines, cultivated according to biodynamic methods at an altitude of 180m in the southern sector of the appellation, are blessed with a good amount of sunshine. The terrain is comprised of Naoussa’s most geologically complex soils, containing limerich marlstone, schist and granit.
