Xinomavro is a red grape variety planted across Greece and produces some of the finest red wines the country has to offer. High tannin, full-body and naturally high in alcohol, Xinomavro boasts a potent structure. Couple this with intense flavours of prune, strawberry and smoke, and you have a phenomenal age-worthy wine; think of it like Greece's answer to Barolo.
