Chatzivaritis Goumenissa 2016
The blend consists of 70% Xinomavro and 30% Negoska. 2016 is a terrific vintage, with excellent ripening conditions. The wine has seen 3 weeks of maceration followed by 16 months in used oak which is more than 4 years old. Medium ruby colour. On the nose the wine shows red fruit, and a rather savoury, earthy and dried herb character. Very well handled oak. On the palate it is both juicy and firm with some upfront fruit sweetness. Beautiful tannins, concentration and definition. Highly drinkable now, but can also age for 10-12 years. Greece&Grapes €13.20
