Diamantis Winery 'Magoutes Vineyard' Xinomavro PGI Siatista, Macedonia, Greece 2019
The Magoutes Vineyard sits high upon the limestone/clay slopes in North-Western Macedonia. At this altitude it sees little maritime influence despite its proximity to the Mediterranean. It is 100% Xinomavro, a native red Greek grape variety of note. It is initially reminiscent of Rioja with tart red fruit and herbal notes. Over time, the fruit and tannins firm up to become more like Nebbiolo. The palate is flush with red fruits, spices, cherry tomato, umami notes of Worcestershire sauce and a savory, mouth-filling meatiness. The finish is firm, fresh, and satiating.
