Originally from Northern Greece, Xinomavro is finding a compelling new expression in Australian vineyards, particularly in warmer regions with cooling influences. Australian grown Xinomavro retains its hallmark structure and savoury edge, while offering slightly riper fruit and approachability. Expect aromas of sour cherry, red plum, dried tomato, olive, and subtle spice, supported by firm tannins and bright acidity that give this red both freshness and ageing potential.
Food Pairing
A natural match for slow cooked lamb shoulder, grilled sausages, or mushroom based dishes with herbs and olive oil. Its savoury profile and lively acidity work beautifully with tomato rich Mediterranean cuisine, charred meats, and earthy flavours.
