Natalie's Score: 90/100

A juicy, ultra-dry, mouth-watering Greek red with superb balance and complexity. More bones and structure than fruit here: tanned leather, dried herbs and lots of acidity for food. Contemplative wine for sipping or pair with juicy meats like lamb.

Xinomavro food pairings: lamb, pizza, paté.

Reviews and Ratings

The Xinomavro wine grapes for Karydas Petros (2012) are sourced from 35 year old vines. With flavours ranging from what you might find from Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo, Xinomavro is known for its acidity and mineral flavours. Since 1980, the Karydas family has cultivated their Naoussa vineyard located on the slopes of Gastra at an altitude of 350 metres above sea level in limestone soils. Pair with braised meats. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
