【📝概述】
🇬🇷 這麼好的希諾瑪夫洛 Xinomavro，一開始我沒有特別高的期望，但品嘗過後這瓶酒真的讓我留下深刻的印象。
Apostolos Thymiopoulos 在 2003 年將農場改造成一個酒莊：Thymiopoulos 酒莊。 23 公頃的土地僅種植希諾瑪夫洛紅葡萄品種。
這款特殊的葡萄酒的葡萄來自位於菲蒂亞村 Fitia 周圍高海拔的葡萄園。 因此其受益於“涼爽氣候”的的影響相當大，這使葡萄酒具有特別的清新和優雅。 另外，Apostolos 僅以生物動力方式工作，並且幾乎沒有對葡萄園進行干預。 葡萄是手工採摘且在釀酒廠經過精心挑選的。
釀造：浸皮浸漬 15 天。 在橡木桶中使用當地天然酵母進行發酵。
熟成：在大橡木桶中陳釀 8 個月。
【🍇葡萄品種 & 酒精含量】
100% 希諾瑪夫洛 Xinomavro, 12.5% ABV.

明顯的香氣與鼻子相似，有著極好的紅色水果、碎花和溫和的香料在味覺中佔領著主導地位。 單寧低，酸度適中，酒精度適中，酒體輕盈。

【📝Brief intro】
🇬🇷 Such a nice Xinomavro, I had no particular expectation but was really impressed.
As is common in the region, the grapes were not vinified by the winegrowers but sold. Apostolos Thymiopoulos changed that in 2003 by transforming the farm into a domain: Thymiopoulos Vineyards. The 23 hectares of the property are cultivated only with a red grape variety: Xinomavro.
The grapes for this particular wine come from high-altitude vineyards located around the village of Fitia. Therefore, the 'Naoussa Alta' cuvée benefits from a sort of considerable influence of the 'cool climate', which lends the wine a particular freshness and elegance. We can add that Apostolos works only in a biodynamic way with almost no intervention in the vineyard. Grapes are hand harvested with the careful selection at the winery.
Vinification: 15 days of maceration. Fermentation takes place with indigenous natural yeasts in oak barrels.
Maturation: 8 months in large oak barrels.
【🍇Grapes & ABV】
100% Xinomavro, 12.5% ABV.
【👀To the eye】
Pale ruby.
【👃Nose】
Pronounced aromas of very fresh red fruits like red cherry, strawberry, raspberry, red plum, dried herbs and rosehip, with hints of cinnamon, tomato leaf and earth.
【👅Palate】
Pronounced aromas similar to the nose, with superb red fruits, smashed flowers and mild spices dominating on the palate. Low tannin, Medium acidity, Medium alcohol, Light body.
The mouth is elegant, with a good acidity, super smooth tannin, an incredible fruit concentration with a long saline / fresh finish. Feels aristocratic like a Barolo.
【🍷 Conclusion】
Super classy Xinomavro, fresh, elegant, cool climate style, with exuberant juicy red fruits and crispy salinity. Reminds me really of Nebbiolo, just wonderful and really cheap for what you get. Just go for it!!!
