Dry Red
Variety: 100% Xinomavro.
Origin: PDO Amynteo, Florina (Macedonia); from vineyards at an altitude of 520–720 meters.
Vinification: Matured for 6 months in French oak barrels, followed by an additional 12 months of bottle aging before release.

The nose is dominated by the freshness of red and black forest fruits (cherry, blackberry, cranberry), while the palate is distinguished by a velvety texture, silky tannins, and notes of spice, black olive, and sweet tobacco, leading to a lingering finish.
Aging Potential: Ideal aging potential of 8–10 years.
Food Pairing: Pairs perfectly with rich red meats (grilled or stewed in tomato sauce), meat pies, and grilled sausages, as well as mature, fatty, or slightly spicy cheeses.
