Apostolos Thymiopoulos’ Earth and Sky was the Xinomavro that changed everything we knew about the red variety of Naoussa, giving birth to the renowned “modern school of Xinomavro.” This wine is frequently featured in Jancis Robinson MW’s articles and suggestions and the one that Xinomavro fanatics, both within and outside Greece, rave about.
If he weren’t an oenologist and winemaker, Apostolos Thymiopoulos would undoubtedly be a world-famous rock star! He stands out as one of the few who has successfully transformed Xinomavro into a cult, delicious, and exotic wine, which has even been featured in prestigious international wine lists. It’s no coincidence that the majority of his production is exported to France, Canada, the United Kingdom, America, and Japan.
His most celebrated creation is Earth and Sky - Thymiopoulos Vineyards, which has been a resounding success since its debut in 2005. This Xinomavro is crafted from 45-year-old vines grown at an altitude of 150-150 meters on Trilofos and 450-650 meters on Fytia. The wine undergoes an 18-month aging process in 500-litre third-use barrels. As its legend continues to grow and vintages running out in the blink of an eye, it’s advisable to seize the opportunity and stock up on a six-pack while you can!
Earth and Sky Thymiopoulos Vineyards is the Xinomavro that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere, whether with or without food, fresh or aged!
