Led by Apostolos Thymiopoulos, one of the most influential figures in modern Greek wine, the estate has gained international recognition for its organic and biodynamic approach to Xinomavro, Greece's flagship red grape variety. The Young Vines range is designed to showcase a fresher, more approachable expression of Naoussa Xinomavro while retaining the variety's distinctive character and sense of place.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVintage Conditions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe fruit for the 2023 vintage was sourced from a blend of younger, non-irrigated vineyards around the villages of Fytia and Trilofos in Naoussa. Situated between 200 and 500 metres above sea level on schist, granite and limestone soils, these sites benefit from a warm continental climate and cooling winds from Mount Vermio, helping to preserve freshness and aromatic complexity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWinemaking Techniques\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduced from 100% Xinomavro, the grapes were hand-harvested, with approximately 75% destemmed before fermentation. The wine underwent a 12 to 15-day maceration and fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by maturation for eight months in concrete tanks. This oak-free approach preserves fruit purity, freshness and varietal expression.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Bright cherry red with youthful vibrancy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAroma:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Fragrant red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry layered with dried herbs, floral notes and subtle earthy nuances\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePalate:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Juicy and expressive with fresh red berry fruits, savoury herbs and vibrant acidity.
