2012 | Domaine Karydas | Naoussa Xinomavro

A rich xinomavro from a warm, dry year, this feels mellow and mature, the tannins round and firm, the fruit smoky and slightly caramelized. It’s balanced for drinking now with a stifado, a cinnamon-scented beef stew.

Producer Information

Over 20 years ago Konstantinos Karydas established Karydas Estate in Ano Gastra, one of the most well-known grape-growing regions of Naoussa. His immaculately kept six acres of Xinomavro vines are planted on the hill of Gastra in sandy, clay and limestone soils, noted for their good drainage. In 1994, he built his winery in the middle of the vineyard and, shortly thereafter, his son Petros joined him to produce his first vintage under his own label. Their mission is to produce an old school, traditional single-vineyard Xinomavro with very little intervention. Strive for precision grape-growing and focused terrior-driven wines that are bold and exciting.
