Kir-Yianni Ramnista Naoussa Xinomavro

Naoussa PDO, Greece
Single-vineyard old-vine Xinomavro from the Ramnista parcel. Deep garnet, intense — tomato paste, dried herbs, red cherry, leather, cedar, and firm tannins requiring years of cellaring. Among Greece's most age-worthy reds.
complement
Xinomavro's tomato and herb notes mirror the braised lamb's flavours — a deeply Greek pairing of wine and food.

complement
Tannic Xinomavro needs gamey richness; chestnut's earthiness and bay bridge the wine's herbal complexity.

complement
Hard Greek cheese's salt and tang are softened by Xinomavro's fruit; peppers echo the wine's pepper notes.
