With 28 months of aging in French oak barrels and 5-6 years in the bottle, this wine promises an exceptional experience.

Food Pairing Suggestions
The bold structure and ageing potential of this 100% Xinomavro make it an exceptional companion for rich, hearty dishes. Its robust tannins and vibrant acidity perfectly complement slow-cooked lamb, beef stew, and game meats such as venison or wild boar. The wine’s earthy and spicy undertones also pair beautifully with truffle-infused risottos, roasted aubergine dishes, and mature cheeses like aged Gruyère, Comté, or Pecorino Romano. For a classic Greek pairing, enjoy it with lamb kleftiko or veal stifado, where its deep flavours and structure enhance the richness of the dish. This is a wine that evolves beautifully with age, making it an excellent choice for complex, flavourful meals that bring out its depth and intensity.
