    Description

    Intense ruby ​​color, with purple highlights. In the aromatic characteristics we find a wine of high aromatic intensity characterized by strawberry, sour cherry, raspberry, tomato, lavender, with licorice and nutmeg following. Full on the palate, with cool acidity, fine balance supported by intense but mature tannins. An extremely charming whole that leads us to a very good aftertaste with duration.

    Kayafas is a vineyard, planted 43 years ago, next to the village of Trilofos, located at an altitude of 180 meters on limestone soils. The harvest is done manually at the end of September, with a 20% fermenting with whole clusters, while the whole fermentation is done with native yeasts. It then matures for 12 months in French, 500 liter second-hand oak barrels. The extraction takes 40 days. The wines are bottled by hand and are not filtered.

    ABOUT THYMIOPOULOUS WINERY

    Apostolos Thymiopoulos is without a doubt the rising star of Naoussa. In the past decades he has worked with local growers and at the same time has forged out an expression of Xinomavro that shows this variety in a modern light. His understanding of natural winemaking is evident, yet the wines maintain a clean, fresh elegance and purity of fruit, that’s delicious! His vines, cultivated according to biodynamic methods at an altitude of 180m in the southern sector of the appellation, are blessed with a good amount of sunshine. The terrain is comprised of Naoussa’s most geologically complex soils, containing limerich marlstone, schist and granit.

    Of the '17: "Garnet. Fascinating nose with pomegranate, cherries and roses, in addition to an earthy and mineral tone. Layered, ripe and savoury on the palate with flesh and substance. Has a ripe plummy core well balanced with the refined and firm tannins."
