A Bold Companion to Greek Cuisine

Xinomavro is a red grape variety, particularly renowned in the Naoussa region, it is celebrated for its bold character and high acidity. Its complex flavors evolve over time, offering rich aromas of tomato, olive, spices, and dark fruit. The wine is often aged in oak, gaining depth and earthy nuances.

Xinomavro pairs exceptionally well with hearty Greek dishes, thanks to its robust profile. It complements grilled meats such as lamb and pork, as well as moussaka, a rich eggplant and meat casserole. The wine’s acidity and tannins also make it an ideal match for aged cheeses like kasseri and graviera, enhancing their flavors. Additionally, it pairs beautifully with slow-cooked stews like stifado (Greek beef stew with onions and spices), balancing the richness of the dish.

Xinomavro’s versatility and aging potential make it a favorite choice to accompany traditional Greek cuisine.
