Natalie's Score: 91/100

From Macedonia I.G.P., Thymiopoulos 2021 is a great value Xinomavro at $20 and is produced from grapes sourced from younger vines (about 15 years of age). This dry, medium-plus-bodied, fresh and unfiltered red wine is a juicy blend of Xinomavro grapes sourced from warmer, lower and cooler upper slopes of Mount Vermio. Very approachable now and vibrant with ripe cranberry, cherry flavours with herbal notes on the palate, some whole-bunch Xinomavro grapes were also added to the wine to enhance its flavours. This vintage was aged in stainless steel tank and concrete (no oak treatment). Lovely and fresh now through 2025.

Xinomavro food pairings: grilled rare steaks, blackened ribs with BBQ sauce, coq au vin, Cornish game hen, tomato tarte.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Aromas of red cherry and raspberry, along with hints of black olives, pine, and dried herbs. Medium bodied on the palate, with soft, slight hints of tannins, along with bright red berry notes, and a touch of dried herbaceousness on the finish. Enjoy with pork or mushroom dishes.

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.
