Alpha Xinomavro Late Harvest 2007
(93)
(‘’Strofi’’, 0,6ha, sub-region, harvested Nov 12, 18 hl/ha, “sur lie” for twenty four months with regular stirring, 10 year aging in Jupille oak casks light toasted. No treatment or filtration before bottling, 13.30% abv, TA: 7,1 g/l, RS: 200,10 g/l, pH: 2,94). A fantastic dessert wine produced from 100% Xinomavro with an out of this world aromatic profile. Walnuts, smoke, dried cherries, raisins, waffle caramel that go on and on. Light tannins on the super long finish. Sweet (200 g/lts of residual sugar) but with impeccable balance this is a stunner.
