Why do we love it?

There is a myth that the favorite wine of Philip, father of Alexander the Great, was made from Xinomavro and Negoska, and by trying Goumenissa of Chatzivaritis Winery we can say that it is probably true! Elegance, finesse, and sophistication in every sip make it practically impossible not to enter your list of favorites!

Vangelis Chatzivaritis planted his first vineyard in 1994 and started making wine as a hobby, in order to escape the hard routine of being an electrical engineer. As it almost always happens in these cases, wine becomes a great love and absorbs you totally. So, that happened to Vangelis, too. His daughter, Chloe, has now returned to the winery from her studies in France, and together they continue to make the wines they love to drink. Their Goumenissa consists of the classic blend Xinomavro (70%) and Negoska (30%). After the long maceration, it matures in old oak barrels for about 18 months. The result shows the unique characteristics of the two varieties and the special terroir of Filiria.

2020 was a magnificent vintage for the reds of Goumenissa, and Goumenissa Chatzivaritis Winery will definitely not leave anyone unmoved!

Ruby ​​red color in the glass.

Rich aromas of ripe red fruit with plum and cherry standing out. Hints of tomato paste and spicy sense of vanilla, clove, red and black pepper complement the beautiful and distinctive aromatic bouquet.

Velvety texture in the mouth, with moderate rounded tannins balancing with the beautifully integrated, moderate acidity. The plum impresses on the palate, having a more spicy character while the long-lasting aftertaste leaves a sense of sundried tomato and tea in the mouth.

Put the sauce (along with the potato) in a blender, to make it velvety and then, return it to the pan. Bring it back to boil along with the meat until it is tender.
