Why this wine
Nikos Karatzas buys from growers in Naousa and Amyntaio and then keeps out of the way: wild-yeast fermentation in concrete tulips, ten months in amphorae, no filtration. The result keeps Xinomavro's aromatics and acidity intact rather than sanding them down with oak. A pure, unforced introduction to Greece's most serious red variety.
