The Thymiopoulos family has owned vineyards in Naoussa for several generations. After he graduated from The University of Athens oenology program, Apostolos Thymiopoulos returned to his family’s vineyards and began producing wine for his own label, Thymiopoulos Vineyards. The first wine caught the attention of influential wine writers such as Nico Manessis and the UK’s Tom Stevenson. The beauty of his wines comes from the fact that Apostolos is able to coax out Xinomavro’s better qualities without high levels of acidity and tannin, making a wine that can be drunk now as well as cellared.
Tasting notes: purple red color. Complex, typical bouquet of red small fruits, cherry, blackberry, plum, sun-dried tomato, black olive, vanilla. Full mouth, rounded tannins, balanced acidity. Pleasant and long aftertaste.
DECANTER - "Zippy, zesty and pure, with notes of local herbs...[and] red fruits; made with 40% whole bunches to amplify the juciness. Rustic, in a good way, ready-made for sausages and barbecued meat. Not just a drink-me-now wine: tasting back to 2007 (2006 was the first vintage) shows its longevity."
