About this product
A single-parcel Xinomavro from the Hedgehog vineyard in Amyndeon — one of Greece's highest-altitude wine regions at 700m. The cool, continental climate produces a more elegant, aromatic style than Naoussa — with red cherry, rose water, dried herbs, mineral earth, and silky tannins that age magnificently. Among the most internationally accessible expressions of Xinomavro.

Greek pastry with Greek wine — the wine's herbal character bridges to spinach and dill, its acidity mirrors the lemon, and feta's saltiness amplifies its mineral quality.

bridge
The wine's mineral depth and dried herb notes bridge to carpaccio. Capers echo its acidity, Graviera adds nutty depth, and truffle oil bridges to its earthy complexity.
