Winemaker Notes
This is a unique Blanc de Noir, a white wine made from red Xinomavro grapes but not in a sparkling style like Champagne. It has aromas of red berries such as raspberry, fresh and dried herbs, and a hint of honeycomb on the finish. On the palate, it is fresh and bright with apple and melon notes.
There are hundreds of white grape varieties grown throughout the world. Some are indigenous specialties capable of producing excellent single varietal wines. Each has its own distinct viticultural characteristics, as well as aroma and flavor profiles.
As one of the few continental-climate, mountainous growing areas of Greece, Macedonia produces notable, high-quality red wines. Xinomavro is its star variety, capable of making a spicy and age-worthy red.
